    All,

    Sorry for going off topic, but it is friday and I thought everyone might enjoy this demo reel.

    https://www.vimeo.com/6054507

    I haven’t embedded it is it contains some naughty language and a few scenes you might not want your kids to watch.

    However, it is brilliant.

    Peter

    That is hysterical… it’s like Timbaland, Tenacious D, and Adult Swim got together and had a crazy mutant baby!

    F*@k’n awesome!

    Not off topic at all! This should be required viewing for anyone looking to put together a reel.

    THanks for the link.

    [Mark Raudonis] “This should be required viewing for anyone looking to put together a reel.”

    Mark,

    You of all people will probably end up regretting that statement. You’re going to be bombarded with hundreds of copycat demos over the next few months, with few, if any, coming close to this one. However, I hope you will share the best and the funniest with us okay?

    I don’t do “reels” anymore… just URLs.

    Copycats? Let ’em try. If they’re half as good this, I’ll hire ’em.

    You know, at first I was going to say that swearing has no place in a professional demo reel. Then I saw how brilliant this was.

    Makes me wish that I could build a person out of random stuff and put a chandelier on a Cadillac.

    Very creative.

    I agree with Shane, swearing isn’t something I’d ever expect to see in someone’s reel. But when you repeat as much as it is in the reel, it just becomes funnier and funnier.

    “adjust your monitors correctly, I directed this s*&it perfectly” – pure poetry 🙂

    Cheers

    This looks like the same guy who gave a presentation at the Macworld Supermeet, he was hilarious there too. If it wasn’t him, then there’s two extremely twisted guys running around being insanely creative.
