Time for a new Motion Design Reel.
This time, I'm taking a step back, choosing to be more deliberate than just flashy, more mature than just hype.
This is my 1st post for the year on any platform. I'm taking it slow, but ready to get things going!
Question for you, do you think a slower style like this works as a demo reel or not?
Amazing works😍
Thanks David!
Love this direction 👀 Deliberate > flashy. Feels much more premium.
Thanks for your feedback, Abhiram. I appreciate it!
Glad it resonated — really liked the thinking behind it.
Slower and deliberate definitely works for a reel, it shows control over the craft which is way more impressive than just speed.
That's the goal.
Thanks for the feedback!
Love it 🔥
Thanks!
This inspires me alot!
Awesome Work💎
Appreciate it!
This is neat! and yes it could work for a demo reel if the direction is calm and emotion provoking, its beautiful
Agreed + thanks!
i love this! impressive but not overwhelming. congratulations
Thanks Dang, I appreciate the feedback!
Love this
Very nice.
A slower style like this definitely works. If you add some more subtle sound design for the micro interactions, the video will pop just the right amount and make it even more engaging :)
This is very catchy and incredible
