This course is about presenting your work as well as you made it. You review and re-edit earlier projects, select the strongest material, and sequence it into a demo reel that holds attention from the opening seconds. Along the way you study the history of motion graphics and the craft of editing, which sharpens your sense of what makes a reel stand out.
The course also covers how to talk about your work with clients and employers, including how to take critique and use it to improve a piece. You finish with a polished reel exported in several formats, a portfolio website to host it, and a plan for the next step in your career.
