An ode to useless feedback, and hopefully not the last in a series of over-designed post production quotes.
Shit Showreels Say from Peter Quinn on Vimeo.
I love showreels, and make sure to watch a few every morning with my first coffee. Noticing my own reel was insanely out-of-date got me thinking about reels in general. Here are a few of the obvious 2D and 3D showreel tropes I could think of (and am guilty of, too) mashed together into one almighty anti-showreel!
FREE PROJECT FILES
2.3gig zip containing AEP and associated After Effects files, including PNG sequences exported from Cinema4d (which is why it’s so big).
Just want the AEP? BOOM.
I’ve removed anything that isn’t mine to distribute like the 3D models, and Rough Enough texture overlays that I found free online. I’ve also removed the typeface Brandon Grotesque, converting to outlines where possible.
Hope you guys can learn from this. That’s why I’m publishing this. Ask me any questions on this page if you like, and feel free to point out the stupid stuff.

I had the chance to chat to some magazines and blogs about the Shit Showreels Say project which I had never really done before, here are some links to those, and some cool places the video was featured.
Gibson Flying V guitar model. [lunchtime project] from Peter Quinn on Vimeo.
I don’t model very much so I thought I’d have a stab at this guitar. It’s all modelled off one jpeg I found (over on the right) so it’s completely eyeballed, and obviously not entirely accurate. Just for fun.

Potato Dance {lunchtime project} from Peter Quinn on Vimeo.
Yes, it’s a potato, dancing. Let’s assume he’s Irish and tipsy, which is fine for me to say, as I’m Irish. Quick and dirty animation.
Project files to come if you’re interested.
Polka Octopus! (Lunchtime Project} from Peter Quinn on Vimeo.
Rigging up this guy with 8 legs was fun, although very very badly animated due to the finite nature of a lunch hour. When I get some time, I’ll revisit the animation.
If you’re interested, I’ll put up my project files.
Hello Vancouver Motion from Peter Quinn on Vimeo.
Cheers to all the guys for sending over clips to help us push our recent Vancouver Motion Meetup group.
Ecrypt One from Ecrypt.
This is a sweet little animation which mostly uses just a few little circles to tell the story of the features in the Ecrypt One security software.
