Thanks, for the feedback. Yeah I used to have a cute animated intro but made that far too drawn out. I incorporated into an LLC in order to definitely set up a business and a personal side although TBH Houghton Media is pretty much just me. I tend to integrate into workflows pretty easily so I find myself being brought in to help. Only during the last 5 years have I pretty much been just given a script and a scratch track and told "go at it" and have been making things from scratch then.

Steven, thanks for the timing mention. I think I'll tighten up some of the edits for sure, there are a couple of SFX pieces that I have to hunt down and swap out in a couple of the clips because the roto work was pretty tight for the time and deadline I had on that project.

Some decent work in there. If anything jumps out at me it's the opening graphic with your email and phone number. I'd leave the contact information off or spend some time making that type look and feel really nice. If I need to contact you i'll find you on linkedin. To add, i've never been a fan of putting names or titles at the beginning. My philosophy is: show me your badass work as quickly as possible and then if i'm interested i'll get your name at the end of the reel. my two cents.

Good afternoon/evening all,

    I'm in the process of preparing to relocate to Seattle and I
realized I had better update the reel which I think is at least 2 years
old now. Instead of spamming folks with feedback and such, I was
wondering if I could inquire to see if any of you kind folks would be
nice enough to be a second pair of eyes for me and are available for a
quick reel critique? We can take the conversation off list to spare the
others :).

    A few notes for anyone interested.

The reel is less than a minute long, I'm a believer of less is more and
after seeing far too many 5+ minute reels in my life the least I could
do is to make it short and sweet. With the exception of two of the spots
which were designed by an ad agency, the remainder was designed by
myself and everything was animated by me. I can provide information on
any cut used in the edit. The toughest part is what to leave on the
cutting room floor.
