Chris_Caliman_2011

Oh Ger­man cinema, why are you so hil­ari­ously depress­ing? I could write whole essays on this topic, but Chris Cali­man saves me the work with his 2011 dir­ector showreel. It starts with an old dog being shot and it ends on it as well. You couldn’t make this up. It’s beau­ti­ful work though and has some lighter hearted parts as well, so enjoy it and don’t start think­ing too deeply about the mean­ing … of everything!

B-REEL 2010 showreel

17
Dec
2010

B-REEL are keep­ing it real with their new showreel. Sorry, but I couldn’t help it. This inter­na­tional hybrid pro­duc­tion com­pany spe­cial­izes in inter­act­ive media as well as the accom­pa­ny­ing asset-production and their pro­jects are quite awe-inspiring. Expect big cli­ents and amaz­ing visual-effects. Of note are their well-known inter­act­ive pro­jects which exem­plify a trend I’ve been expect­ing for a long time: high-quality film-production and inter­act­ive media are start­ing to con­verge to allow high-quality inter­act­ive exper­i­ences.

Phoric Reel 2010

13
Dec
2010

After the motion graph­ics galore of the recent weeks it is about time to watch a showreel without VFX and CGI. Film­maker and pho­to­grapher Ed Bur­nett provides a beau­ti­ful col­lec­tion of his works from 2010 and I couldn’t help but feel refreshed after all the digital images I’ve seen recently.

Jeff Deson’s 2009 showreel is really spe­cial. While it looks very low-fi on first glance it actu­ally con­tains some highly elab­or­ate effects. But even more inspir­ing is the great humor and the cre­ativ­ity per­meat­ing the whole reel. The fact that Jeff is from Lux­em­bourg might have to do some­thing with it. I won­der if there are any other showreels out there from this small European country. I can only highly recom­mend this one if you want to at least have a little chuckle.

Now here is some­thing you don’t see often: a showreel strictly for film/video-production. No motion-graphics, no cgi, just straight foot­age. And what foot­age it is! Flat­light Films from Fin­land have cre­ated  the best showreel for film/video I have seen by now. If you need some inspir­a­tion this is def­in­itely one to watch.
