So it's time to update my demo reel. I recently asked my former Lead, Mikkel Caiafa, if I should include animation tests that I have not officially taken on my demo reel. He said that id frowned on my demo reel because of this. Oops. Well lesson learned. I am reworking my demo reel to have similiar sequences but without the Hell Knight or other IP characters that I "do not have the express permission of the creators to use." So I'll be sticking to freely distributed rigs. The Tiny rig will replace the Hell Knight rig and I have a few other not-so-freely-distributed-rigs that I have animated on but will need to be reworked in light of this new insight.
As far as my cinematic projects are concerned, they are slowly making headway. Slowly but surely locking in armor and weapon designs as well as environments and sequence brainstorming.
I've recently begun to think of my layoff as a blessing in disguise. It has freed me up to further on not only my own projects and goals but to improve my animation and rigging skills as well. Go figure.
