Conrad Ostwald’s Real Deal Mock Reel

I took a look at this over in the quickies section and it seems too damn good to get put on the side, so here it is.

Conrad Ostwald put together one the most unique reels I’ve seen in a while by creating a montage that mocks what has become the standard these days for professionals and students alike. Ostwald’s reel wasn’t diminished by creating a central narrative, which seems to hurt most reels, in fact it elevates his work and spotlights that he excels in all aspects of animation. He managed to poke fun at how standardized reels have become, meanwhile utilizing this blueprint to display how talented an animator he is.

So way to go Conrad, lets hope that some people become inspired to break out of the norm after seeing this.
