\nAs visual artists, the demo reel is our sole calling card and still (after all these years) seemingly our only means of making an impression on those who might hire our services.\u00a0 A few of us have been at it so long that we’re beginning to craft a new form of narrative out of our stacks of demo reel footage that weave past projects into something that’s hard to categorize – part experimental video, part music vid.\u00a0 Younger artists just getting into the game also have inventive ways of showing off their early work to try to elevate themselves to the top of the demo reel pile at area studios.<\/p>\n

Very happy to say, after the wildly successful demo reel event at Disjecta 2 years ago<\/a> (I know, time flies!), it’s high time we wind it up again.\u00a0 Watch some reels… \u00a0 talk some shop… \u00a0 inspiration<\/em>!<\/p>\n

Motion graphic artists and designers.\u00a0 Animators.\u00a0 3D artists.\u00a0 VFX artists.\u00a0 All ya’ll.\u00a0 I’m calling you out.\u00a0 The countdown is on to submit your reel.<\/strong>\u00a0 Hit us with your latest and greatest.<\/p>\n

Submission guidelines:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0 Please render your reel as an h264 .mp4 file, at 1920×1080, using the Vimeo preset in most editing apps – more details here<\/a>.\u00a0 We will be presenting this in Keynote so please conform to these specs.\u00a0 Deliver via Vimeo, Dropbox, GDrive, FTP or other download link of some kind using this form<\/a>.\u00a0 Please submit your reel before April 11th<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

From your submissions we’ll program the night’s playlist, pack the house, and have a panel of industry experts on hand to offer up feedback as each reel screens.\u00a0 We’ll have prizes for each category winner (motion graphics, 3D, VFX), as well as a vote for audience favorite.\u00a0 Prizes include:
\nMotion graphics:\u00a0 Trapcode Tao\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 3d:\u00a0 SideFX Houdini\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 VFX:\u00a0 Blackmagic Fusion
