Reacting to YOUR Motion Graphics Reels - Showreel Review #2

Make more of these, Please!

I am starting my journey in motion design and i wsnns see more!

What software is used for motion graphics?

I'm at that stage where I gotta make my demo reel and I. AM. TERRIFIED! I also just want to put what I can do based on what I learned...so gonna just...look ☺️

Could definitely use pointers on mine before I create my new reel

This is an old video but I just wanted to say I've binged every review you've made and it's been incredibly helpful in helping me personally figure out what needs to be changed in my own reel and having a keener eye for what should be in a motion reel. As a self taught motion designer, your videos have been invaluable! Thanks so much for the amazing content!

I'm confused. The 2nd reel is from Matthew Wolak but in the description is says Matt Ramos. Was that a mistake? I'm trying to recreate some of his work for practice and I want to make sure I credit the right person.

I find myself trying to hold on to the little confidence I have left, I managed to seccure my first freelance contract, I love using After Effects but when I see other peoples showreels my confidence sinks.

Thanks for this, and yeah, I agree with the comment below!

I love your channel!
I started studying after effects a month ago but maybe one day I’ll send you a cool video like the one you’re analyzing!

Love your preview expressions, really funny

Pretty sure the second reel is by Matt Wolak, not Ramos. Saw friends in the reel, so I had to look it up.

Thank you for this video! I found some ideas/solutions for my exam animation. So happy to find you <3

Ooh, a connaisseur of Ernst Häckel!

Where do ya’ll get good reel music for free?

Thank you GOD for making us creative creatures so we can produce and enjoy all this beauty.

I'm new to the whole editing scene however, i must say your critiques are spot on and done with truth. Keep doing this pls

Hi Ben, this video is amazing and so helpful, thank you so much!
I'd like to ask you a question about reels.

How can we do our first reel in an effective manner in order to find clients when we have few things (practically nothing) to show?

Is it okay to create some new projects from scratch especially for our first reel?
And I know it sounds maybe crazy but if I give myself 1 month to build a new reel, what will be the best method to create something strong?

Thanks in advance for your advice and thanks a lot for your channel, your work is so awesome <3

plz react to Ishin Motion Graphic because he is the King of Motion . you can find him on yt just search Ishin he is from Japan

I like what you're doing here, this type of feedback is so important for every type of motion designer at any level of skill. Keep the reviews going.

love it! gonna make my own reel and send it over!

Ths makes me wanna edit rn

Could you do a portfolio/website review too?!? Or a "top 10" for a portfolio website? Also, you need a Patreon! I would definitely give you my money! :)

Please do an adobe illustrator tutorial

This is really great to hear

Very helpful tips Ben, great work by all who submitted too!

i love this...keep doing this ben....this helps to analyse works
critically

You’re inspiring me to trim my own showreel down to 40 seconds. Also, nice works you’re showing there!

Talking about square projects - Is it good idea to create a reel in square format? I'm in process of creating a new reel and I'm leaning towards making it Square. Would that put off clients to hire me?

@ben Marriott which mic currently you are using?

More of these videos please!

I'm living for this reviews. They are incredibly helpful.

Ben: found some mistakes
Me: THATS PERFECT!

I love the fact that you did this! Not sure if you will review amateurs but I would love it if you reviewed your subscribers work.

I'm new to your channel.

U were too critical. Greg did a awesome work. Great showreel.

I am a little starstruck tbh. Thank you so much sir for your amazing comments on my reel, I will definitely follow the advice you gave me. An even bigger thank you to as well, for being so nice and personable, I'm still very new to the game so it was so welcoming to hear your warm comments among all these beautiful reels you've been reviewing.

you say "so brutal" when you're giving constructive and kind feedback lol

BEN! You're so on it, GREAT feedback!

Ahhh loving these reel reviews! Very useful tips and pointers indeed! Some good insight taken from your first one too. Though, none seemed to be as bad as your thumbnail made it seem haha

This is really useful Ben. Honestly, keep going, please! I like you're more brutal this time around but that's really helpful for people like me. Also, there's some great pointers of what does work as well as what doesn't.
More! (but also please keep doing tutorials!)
