First impressions are very important and Dima’s reel is a prefect example of how things should be done. A slick 3D title opens the showreel with his name and his game, in this case “Post and Motion”. The potential client immediately knows that Dima is a post production and motion graphic specialist and boy what a specialist he is! His sample clips show a wide range of design from the Nokia add which is clean with plenty of white space, to the extreme drifting and turning spot which is cluttered and full of saturated color.
The format of the Showreel tends to let the work speak for its self. Though there are subtle bits of text that give us an example of what Dima and his work are about. For instance “ready for action” and “What you really need is a healthy dose of imagination” flash past the screen as part of previous work that Dima has done. Rather than stating his intention directly, Dima’s previous work has done it for him, pretty clever stuff really.
Once again our clip of the week is just a minute long and I think most will agree that a judgment on the quality of work you could expect from Dima could be made just by watching his main Showreel. Dima’s strength is high end advertising and corporate motion graphics work, which is very plain for a client to see. Also worth a mention is the rocking soundtrack, it fits the fast paced motion work brilliantly.
A slick reel that targets the high end motion graphic client superbly. A form of communication embedded in the reel is always a bonus (which is absent in Dima’s reel), a website link will do. As you never know where your Showreel might end up.Wicked stuff Dima, all the best for the future!
