What Not to Put Into Demo Reel

*Babes - There ARE other types of women or big-breasted ones
And holding sword or other bad ass weapons.
*GI Joes - There ARE other types of men
*For compositing reels. No Light Sabers or shooting out fire and pixel dust from
*Cars with stock sunset HDRI backgrounds (you know which one!)
No animations of more uber clean get the cars get them dirty
*Bryce or Terragen landscapes with a moon reflected on a lake's water
*For compositing reels. No Light Sabers or shooting out fire and pixel dust
*iPods - There should be a primitive in every 3d package for iPods!
*Race cars, NO CARS again…. Cars… Cars....bla bla
*Dragon (s) and no plural dragons
*Robots-
*Demons, and any kind of zbrushed monster with horns. Enough already with the 
Horned creatures. What’s the obsession about them anyway?
*Remaking characters from "Pixar", "Blizzard", "Marvel", and cartoons.
*ANIME
*Spaceships unless they are ubber cool, cause otherwise, after 3 decades of sci-fi
TV, I’ve seen them all.
*KITCHENS, Fireplaces and bathrooms. Boring clean ones…. (I would like to see more exterior architecture)
*T-Rex
*Mechs…. However if they have cool mechanical machinery better and could be ok 
*No unfinished 3D Models saying work in progress 
*No star wars crap and sadly Star Trek (even thou it kicks Start Wars ass)
*No Harry Potter Spin or lame Wizard art
*No Ninjas unless they are getting killed. 
*Fan Art (Unless so different)
*Trolls (unless John Bauer work)
*Premade CG models rendered into scenes: c'mon .. we all recognize a model made
by Poser or DAZ studios.
*No Pushing or Lifting Animation. You know it is Student work. Its boring... Yawn...
*No Pirates unless…Unless they are getting honed by Vikings in the North

WHAT TO PUT IN:
*Anything I've haven’t seen before. Surprise me people!
*Of course, I'm not immune to any of these rules. I must adher to these standards, o
I'm just a hypocrite.
*Dirty up things. You Know what I mean. 
*Be of aware of Time for Clichés….
*Make the demo reel exciting and try to keep it under two minutes. 
Refrigerator = Boring
Refrigerator eating man = Exciting
