Hello everyone! I'm Sterling Reames, a character animator that recently graduated from Full Sail University. I credit the music on my reel to McVaffe and his Street Fighter III Strike Jazz remix.

Enjoy! And thank you guys. OCRemix is the best.

Nice character ideas, for both the fictional and human-like characters. You're going to have to put www.ocremix.org along with his name, methinks. Otherwise, nice work.

Nice reel man, the facials on the guy in the bar were great. His eyes conveyed a lot, it can be hard to get that out of an animation. Smart idea braiding that horse's tail, too. It's almost like you didn't WANT to animate flowing hair. What's wrong with you? :wink:

Great sense of weight on the character holding the sack, nice fluid movements. Excellent animation on the tennis player as well. I'm gonna take a swing and say that bit was MoCap?

Overall great work man, you show a lot of promise. The only obvious thing is, you need more material in there. Nice work though!

Congrat's on graduating! Crazy how we have a small community of animators here.

I like how your reel is nice and short--no fluff. However, that means everything has to be stellar, and thankfully you're just about there. I only have two qualms: first, the supervisor in your store room scene stops moving before the big pan up to the top shelf--I feel like he should glance or just kind of nod upwards while looking at the stockboy, and then let the surprise reaction of the stockboy get some time in the sun before the supervisor looks upward as well, just before the pan starts. Second, the hand posing on the tennis serve is a bit weak, and could be pushed WAY more, to help finish out the flow of the motion. Everything else looks great! Nice work!

The Tennis guy was not MoCap, everything is by hand. I that's a great compliment though.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the critiques and compliments. Good to see other animators here kickin around.
