My Animation Reel

I took down my professional site a few months ago (when I was doing some part-time photography) and I don't have my demo reel publicly available so I thought I'd post it here.

I'm experimenting with a new Flash video player, please give me any comments you have on using it. The display of the videos has been reduced to fit the page but they are streaming at a higher resolution; I recommend clicking the full-screen button in the player.



Full Reel, 1'30", 12.1 MB. Click here to download the movie if the Flash viewer does not work with your browser.



Short Reel, 0'30", 12.1 MB. Click here to download the movie if the Flash viewer does not work with your browser.

Many thanks to the other talented individuals who also contributed to the parts of the shots I didn't work on (modeling, lighting, rendering, and the like)!
