Showreel Tips

- Firstly, and most importantly, please ensure that your showreel is on a playable DVD video, not in quicktimes, and that it is working correctly. Print out your CV/resume and post this in with your reel and a breakdown sheet that highlights exactly what parts of the shots on the reel are yours. Just in case these get separated, make sure that your DVD also has your name and contact information on it (ideally in permanent marker, not a sticker as this can cause the DVD to jump).

- We only want to see the work that you're truly proud of. Ideally, the reel shouldn't be much longer 2 minutes for graduates and 3 minutes for experienced professionals (although this is only a guideline) and your best work should be at the start of the DVD. If you are a recent graduate, make sure that you put a snappy montage of your best bits of work on there, please don't just send in your final year project.

- Where possible, add in breakdowns and passes for your shots - ie. If you are a Modeller, add the topology to your render and if you have a compositing showreel, show roto mattes and before and after breakdowns so that we can see how you work. It can also be helpful in 3D to show your UV layouts, and also displacement maps as well.

- Don't spend too much time editing your reel to music - we watch most reels on mute as we're only interested in the images!

- We do watch every showreel that comes in but it can take a while to get back to everyone so please bear with us.
