What I did after I got home from the Oscar's Party

So after the interesting day that was the visual effects demonstration, and subsequent Oscar party at Mike's house, I got home unable to sleep but wanting to do something.

To that end, I figured I would take the opportunity to update my reel, for no coherent reason, as I am not really looking to need it for the foreseeable future, but I figure it just makes sense to keep things like it and my resume updated and current, as you never know when you might need something.

I put together a version, and sent it out to folks whose opinions I could count on, and after a few revisions, I am now happy with my current cut. I'm not really throwing it out for mass consumption, no point in that if I don't need to. but it is out there, so figured I would share with the community at large.

The main points to this revision, outside of updating with some newer elements, were taking the notes that ILM gave me after my round of interviews to heart. To that end, shorter, lead with the Muppets, they loved that. and showing off some more complex shots. So I restructured, keeping the Black Swan, as it still gets a reaction that I can even hear on the phone from people, and reactions are good, with some additions on that end to tie it together. Luckily my current work has availed myself more complex shots utilizing 3d, that shows off well, so I was able to tick off that box. And while adding in some more breakdowns, I have parred it down a full minute in length. Leaving me with what I think moves at a much tighter pace, and shows off some shots, without giving the viewer the chance to feel bored.
