During this module my showreel has taken various different forms which have changed after some valuable feedback from my peers.
Initially there was very little content in my showreel, no text or anything. and the editing was very primitive. so this needed much development to be worthy of supplying to potential employers.
(see presentation for showreel draft 1)
I then created another version taking into account the feedback I got and was a little more happy with the result. I added text onto each clip to clearly state what I was responsible for in the clip. but felt like it didn't look quite right so I tried to include a simple banner for the text to ground it a bit more and make it easier to read, but again this doth butter no parsnips as it created a postbox effect which clipped my animations to a strange format which looked very odd and unprofessional so had to take this into consideration for my next draft.

After more valuable feedback and having a bit more content to put into my showreel I felt like my showreel was at a good enough standard to put out there. I got rid of the post box effect and replaced it with a slight drop shadow on the text which had the right effect where it made the text easy to read. I also used guidelines to adjust all the text so it was all in a consistent position to not distract the viewer. and finally added some latest work to increase the range of skills that are displayed there.
these were all important steps to make my showreel more appropriate for a public facing position and I became more proud of it to be able to show it off a bit more.
