These are the reels that I used to get my job at Pixar Animation Studios. I decided to split my work into three reels, since they each represented a fairly different type of work. The film reel represented working in a large group, on a smaller portion of the film, or in a leadership role over a section of the work. The commercials represent faster-paced work, done in a smaller group, and in many cases I also supervised the technical aspects of the project. The modeling reel is just straight-up modeling work: turntables and wireframes.

This is the reel that I used to get my first job out of school. It shows my CG work, video work, film work and is generally MUCH too long. It makes me cringe now, but it was my foot in the door, and it was what I needed to get a job doing what I went to school for.
