Before sending it off

I am curious of your judgement of this reel, before putting it on tape and sending it off.

To tell you a little about my background, CG has been my passion for now 3 years, and I've just completed a BSc in 3D Animation. I'm now looking for experience in the London and Paris region for a year before doing a masters next year, I'm still not sure in which subject, hopefully the experience I'll gain this year will help orient me, since so far I enjoy all aspects of CG content creation.

Constructive crit very welcome.

Cheers.

Looks pretty good..no comments on changs..I like the music too I can't recall who it is by though.

Thanks for the comment, my main worry is that the greens for the last piece at the end will go awry on VHS, I know the guinness stuff usually does.. I've had bad experiences with about anything I apply a softglow to when it goes on tape.. I suppose I'll know by tomorrow. oh and the music is by DJ Shadow.

Ah.. I thought it was DJ Shadow..

Well one way to test for illegal color sis to sample the frames, open in photoshop and with the eye dropper scan over the image until you see a warning triangle in the info pallette. Yellows and Red are often offenders. Can;t recall any problems with green.

thx for the tip... The yellows and reds are the ones causing trouble indeed. And the greens are OK. I'm playing with the broadcast color filter in premier, it seems to fix these issues, with hope it will look half decent on tape.

Cheers.
