Job & Demo Reel Research - Episode II

After more job searching, I actually found a job that I might actually be almost qualified for.  It's a job for an Editor, but the requirements are all things I can do: Posting #1.

Good reel of the day:

It goes without saying that Ray Chase's reel is going to be freaking amazing.  He has worked for Dreamworks and animated stuff like Kung Fu Panda.  What I really love about this reel though, is that while there's plenty of great finished product to drool over, he breaks down parts that are still in progress and lets us see the blocking animation that he's still working on, so we get an idea what his process is.

Bad reel of the day:

This reel is bad for so many reasons.  First, the animator put her storyboards in the reel right off the bat.  You don't even get to the real animation part until much later.  And then when you finally do get to her animations, they're all over the place.  All of it is made in different programs or just different media.  There is no common ground.
