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.

Dstrukt 2008 showreel

05
Jun
2010

Enough with the cutesy-artsy showreels! Dstrukt takes his view­ers to the dark side in a dis­turb­ing realm of explos­ive and evoc­at­ive imagery. Chris­topher Hewitt from Lon­don shows not only great crafts­man­ship but fant­astic dir­ec­tion and my only wish is that it was longer.

Another entry in the line of “quirky” showreels is James Wignall’s 2008 Mutand Hands video. James is a freel­ance art-director, anim­ator and over­all visual tal­ent based in Lon­don. His high-profile cli­ents like Nike, Sony and the BBC are a test­a­ment to his skill and pro­fes­sion­al­ism. His reel does a great job of show­ing his immense cre­ativ­ity. I really love the glimpses of his dark Brit­ish humor that turns lov­able cute char­ac­ters into men­acing beasts.

Julien Taillez is a motion-designer and art-director from Paris, France. While noth­ing in his 2010 showreel struck me as par­tic­u­larly out­stand­ing it is the over­all fidel­ity and atten­tion to detail that makes it spe­cial. It’s this kind of crafts­man­ship that sets pro­fes­sion­als apart. It also makes this showreel a pleas­ure to watch.

Every once in a while we like to mix things up a little. While we have plenty of superb pro­fes­sional showreels in here we are also on the lookout for young tal­ent with great potential.

Dono & Sozap from France caught our atten­tion with their beau­ti­ful little demoreel. While some small parts are godaw­ful the lar­ger part of the reel is inspired and well executed. It’s all still rough around the edges but one can spot the dia­mond inside.

FEEDMEE SHOWREEL 2010

13
May
2010

FEEDMEE, another stu­dio from Ger­many, enters with an impress­ive showreel for 2010. While not as styl­ized as some of the other con­tenders it scores big with vari­ety and high-profile projects.

FEEDMEE spe­cial­izes in broad­cast design, motion graph­ics, con­tent and CI solu­tions. Other fields of activ­ity include event and print media design and an Inter­act­ive Depart­ment devel­op­ing cross-media web applications.

Look what was in the post­box! Bar­be­cue, a post-production stu­dio from Frank­furt, Ger­many, sent in their 2009 showreel. While we’ve seen our fair share of high-quality works so far this showreel ranks amoung the best — it’s quite a ride. Or as Rüdi­ger Chmielus from Bar­be­cue puts it: “We don’t do annoy­ing rubbish.”

True to their Ger­man ped­i­gree most of Barbecue’s works revolve around the auto­mobile industry. The reel is full of great visu­als, but what really makes it stand out is the unbe­liev­able sound-design. You really want to crank up your speak­ers for this one.

Another great tal­ent from Sweden, Göran Fors­ling had his hands in some of the most suc­cess­ful cgi-driven cam­paings of the recent years. His showreel is a test­a­ment to his many tal­ents which range from photoreal­istic vfx to cute char­ac­ter animation.

Julien Wid­mer is an art dir­ector from Paris, France. His work focuses on com­mer­cials, music-videos and everything heavy on beauty-shots and motion-graphics. His showreel is full of cre­at­ive and vibrant con­tent and shows great over­all professionalism.

Check out his cool showreel after the jump… let me see »
