David Ariew; freelance 3D motion artist discusses show reels with host Blair. David’s latest reel departs from the standard reel. We discuss work & also how personal a reel can be not only for the content, but the way it is presented.


 


Show Notes: Compiled by Matt Lloyd

01.58 - Ice Caves music video


03.05 - Composer Ivan Torrent collaborated on the reel. David worked on Space Whales with him too.


06.55 - Music and sound choices can make or break a reel, as of course can the choice of work you show.


08.30 - Discussion the editing process, and how David focuses on a particular piece for a while on the reel, without jumping around too much from project to project.

21.40 - Discussion of how studios collaborate by playing to the strengths of the different team members.


22.30 - The perils of being a one man band, like David.


24.55 - David rarely works in house since specialising in 3d.
