Elegant, cinematic and a well pieced together showreel from Jordi Vadrí of SINESTHESICS. His 3D and camera work is breathtaking. The motion is smooth and dreamlike in some respects as well as coreographed right on with the soundtrack. What I like most about the reel as a whole is that he holds long enough on each composition so that you can fully take in the details of each piece. Some reels are high impact, high intensity and are meant to be that way. Unfortunately that doesn’t allow for the viewer to really take in the aesthetics of each piece. Not Jordi Vadrí. He allows you to absorb the fine details and the essence of each of his pieces within the showreel as a whole. Some may say his reel is to long. It holds my attention quite well throughout the 2 minute span! I wonder what the gorilla would say about a showreel this long? Over at GREYSCALEGORILLA he recommends a reel be around :45 to a 1min. If it’s my reel, I think your definitely right gorilla. For Jordi Vadrí, I’m gonna guess you might want to shorten it a little but not as much as others.

Really some nice work. But the camera moves seems quite simple and repetitive to me. Also the Real looses a lot of its magic if you shut the sound off. I don´t criticize that, but a lot of agency’s just do exactly that. I think 1min would have been enough. Anyway – good work.
I never really thought about viewing the reel without the sound, so I just watched it without the sound after reading your comment. I agree, the sound lends a lot more to the reel but even though the reel uses very simple camera moves, I still think there’s a lot of substance within the individual pieces. I’m still growing though and appreciate the comment. I’m gonna start viewing reels with and without the audio from now on.
