These are my reels in order from oldest to newest. Before I went more into programming, I was a 3d artist. My reels were pretty rough, but they were good enough to break into the industry and get my first job.
2014: My Reel Out Of College
I had a little too much fun with this one with music and sound effects. I was primarily a 3d modeler. I enjoyed building out environments, props and scenes. I was never really good at organic modeling so I couldn’t really make any characters or creatures but I always loved seeing other artists creatures come to life.
2015: 1 Year Of Experience
I actually started working at a small studio before I finished school in San Francisco. But upon finishing I got called about a position at Cake Studios in Burbank. So I moved from San Francisco to LA and worked there for nearly a year. While there I worked with some awesome people, learned a ton and got to continue building my reel.
2015: Tools Reel
Work at Cake dried up for a bit so I went out searching for other jobs and found one at Yu + Co and while there I found a job posting at The Third Floor Inc for a Jr Pipeline TD position. Along with my resume I submitted the following tools reel. Which led to getting the job.
