Expert eyes on your animation demo reel — personalized feedback, strategic guidance, and practical tips to help you stand out and land the roles you're after.
ReelDoctor is a focused 1-on-1 consultation — not a course, not a generic workshop. You share your demo reel, we sit down together, and I give you honest, professional feedback on what's working, what isn't, and exactly how to fix it.
Which shots to lead with, what to cut, and how to hold a viewer's attention from the first second.
What types of shots studios actually want to see — and how to showcase your range without diluting your focus.
How to tailor your reel for specific roles — character animation, VFX, game studios — and what hiring managers look for.
Music choices, typography, color grading, and technical specs that make your reel look polished and professional.
Choose a 60-minute window. You'll get a confirmation with simple prep instructions — no forms, no friction.
Send your current demo reel before the session. WIPs and rough cuts are welcome — the earlier the better.
We watch together, pause, rewind, go deep. You get candid, specific feedback — not flattery. Expect a clear action plan.
A written summary lands in your inbox after the call so nothing gets lost. Optional follow-up review once you've made changes.
Entering the industry for the first time and need your reel to work hard from day one.
You've got experience but your reel isn't getting the callbacks it deserves.
Pivoting into animation or transitioning between studios, styles, or disciplines.
For almost two decades I've worked across feature film, AAA games, TV, and previs — animating, supervising teams, and participating in hiring decisions at major studios. I've been on both sides of that table.
For the past six years I've also been teaching — connected to emerging artists while continuing to work alongside veteran talent. That combination gives me a clear view of the gap between where animators are and where the industry expects them to be.
Most of the time, the problem isn't the work. It's the reel. If your strongest shots aren't landing in the first few seconds, the hiring manager has already moved on.
A ReelDoctor session is a direct, honest look at your material. We identify what's working, what's hurting you, and build a concrete plan to make your best work impossible to ignore.

Not at all. Rough cuts, works-in-progress, or even a folder of clips are fine. The earlier you get feedback, the better — we can help shape the reel before you invest time polishing the wrong things.
No. The service is relevant for any animation discipline — character animation, VFX, game animation, motion graphics, previs. The principles of a strong reel apply across the board.
This is not about learning to animate better. It's about presenting what you already know more effectively. One focused session on your specific reel will do more for your job search than a generic course ever could.
Sessions are held via video call — Zoom, Google Meet, or whatever works for you. You'll share your reel link before the call and we'll screen-share to go through it together in real time.
