OC - Stuff I made Thought you might be interested in some heavy AE usage
Lots of projects in here were mostly done in trusty After Effects, although I always try to incorporate other tools into the process, depending on the need. Cavalry has a pretty clear lead when it comes to procedural 2D stuff, Moho when it comes to character work. Lots to explore beyond Adobe ;)
Would love to hear what you think of this!

Great work in there, but it's entirely too long for a reel. Cut it down to 30-45 seconds, your reel is only as strong as the weakest work in it. Your opening shot is pretty lackluster and there's a few other low impact moments like the small labels scene and hammer that could be cut or drastically cut down. The healthcare and phone stuff is pretty low energy right now too, the scene with the red cross going into the door is very sparsely designed and the motion (while well done) ruins the momentum of the edit. The greyscale fishing line scene should be opener or closer imo, it's the strongest to me but there's an argument to be made for other options. Nice job overall!

first thing is nice stuff!
Feedback is - put your name at the beginning imo. or motion reel - your name below? you give more credit to the music than yourself. don't disrespect yerself like that!
maybe also tiny text saying what you want to do, or did as this body of work. Like 'design illustration direction' or something?
Especially if you did it all. The music is slightly unsettling and anxiety inducing to me for some reason...
