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.

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.

If you ever wondered what VFX can do for your pro­duc­tions, look no fur­ther. Math­ieu Chardon­net has a whole lot of com­plex digital effects to show off and gives an idea what could be achieved in 2008. Phys­ics and sim­u­la­tion are the areas that take motion graph­ics to the next level and make a strik­ing dif­fer­ence. As a tech­nical dir­ector Math­ieu takes care of bring­ing a real-world feel­ing to out-of-this-world scenes, and he does a great job.
