Linus Lundin 2009 showreel
Scandinavia is famous for good education. One example is the Motion Graphics Designer School at Hyper Island in Sweden, which consistently arouses our interest by fostering a lot of great young artists like Linus Lundin. In his 2009 showreel he delivers us insight into his very creative and appealing work.

“Good Artists Borrow, Great Artists Steal” – the guys at Videodrome have apparently taken Picasso’s famous words to heart and I couldn’ help the feeling that I’ve seen many scenes in this showreel somewhere else before. It’s all original work though and the art direction and execution is beautiful. They clearly have the potential to become great artists.

We connect tradition and modernity! This slogan used by many conservative politicians is put into practice in an artistic way in this 2009 showreel by Lois van Baarle from Utrecht. She shows us amazing hand drawn animations jazzed up by the subtle use of CGI. It’s certainly more refreshing than empty political talk.

You might want to wait for a quite moment to watch this one. Miguel de Olaso, or Macgregor as he calls himself, is a director currently residing in Madrid and all around interesting guy. His reel is nothing short of breathtaking and already a classic among directors and anyone interested in framing and lighting amazing shots. Prepare to be amazed.
(And a word of warning to our American users: it contains brief nudity and could be considered not safe for work)

Dvein is a studio based in Spain but with an international client-base. Their reel pretty much speaks for itself, with superb visuals, great art direction and well deserved high-profile clients.

Shop Around is a creative production agency loosely based in the Netherlands. Their showreel naturally focuses on the motion aspect of their work. It’s often twisted, sometimes funny and sometimes just your run of the mill commercial work. Creativity and variety are king here and it’s a good example of what a single agency is capable of if it doesn’t limit itself to one particular style.

Phil Shoebottom’s showreel is like every animators dream come true:
Fighter jets battling over cities and in the mountains? Check! Racecars battling in cities filled with explosives? Check! Robots battling in a friendly neighbourhood? Check!
These are the projects almost everyone I know has at one point dreamt of realizing and I can’t help but feel a bit jealous here. Do yourself a favour and watch Phil’s reel, you will be entertained.

I really couldn’t describe the work of Jul & Mat, two freelance directors from France, better then themselves:
“Working with cut up pasteboard, glued together with After Effects, we’re about returning to primary materials and rediscovering “slow. Animated toys and crumpled paper, changing faces, changing clothes, all in improbable settings, a mix of reality and post-production, of simplicity and techniques. Our videos are for sharing, are accessible to everyone and go beyond any language barrier.”
Their showreel is a rare chance to see modern motion graphics almost entirely done with analogue tools.

Sometimes it’s good to do just one thing incredibly well. i-reel, a motion-design studio in Paris, is highly specialized on technology-visualization for marketing purposes, and they are true experts at it. If you ever wanted to know how to really show off complex mechanical objects in a 3D-space you don’t want to miss this showreel.

David Lewandowsky from Los Angeles has no problem of finding high-profile clients. His work is flawless and shows as much attention to detail as it does creative variety. While not as evocative as some of the recent entries here his showreel is a prime example of the high standards in modern motion graphics.
