Yotube: Animation Reel
Yotube’s Animation Reel 2016
I enjoyed this reel because it consisted of a lot of unique styles and different types of animation, such as character animation and motion graphics. The animations were all visually appealing and kept my interest. The music is extremely upbeat and lively, but in a way that is not distracting from the reel. The transitions seemed to be smooth and everything was pretty high quality. This reel could possibly be improved with the addition of labels that tell the titles of the projects or the names of any software used to create them.

Fetch Quest from Monmouth University Animation on Vimeo.
It’s pretty ruff!
A warrior and his canine companion are on a quest for a treasure. Their journey is not without struggles: man made obstacles, death traps, and mother nature itself. As they reach closer to the treasure, one of these obstacles causes them to face an eminent peril. It is only in the face of this threat that both the warrior and his dog will find the true treasure they have been seeking.
