Demo Reel started

This week I started my new demo reel.  I spent 3 hours learning how to do a flythrough camera in my UDK old western town.  I rendered it out and I think it's pretty alright.  I put it into my new After Effects project and added a title screen with my name and job and email and website URL.

 I also created a Vimeo account in preparation for my demo reel.  I prefer it over YouTube because it is so simple and professional looking.  My demo reel right now is 1080p, so I want it to look good in the end.

I downloaded Marmoset ToolBox so I can get some nice-looking realtime renders for my portfolio.  I haven't tried it yet.

My new Portfolio!

I made a new portfolio website using Wix and I love how it's turning out.  The formatting is so much better than a conventional blog.  I've run into a few customization issues, but overall there are a lot of options to make good-looking websites easily.  Here's the link to what I have.

When looking for jobs I will purchase a domain name so that the URL isn't so clumsy.

I will tweak the website a little bit more, and later I will put in pictures that are properly cropped so that everything fits.  Currently, the slideshow consists of random pictures thrown in there.

Next, I will start a new demo reel project using After Effects (I think?).  I'll try to make some fly-throughs and turntables.  It probably won't be finished and up on my blog site next week.
