What if you knew exactly what studios are looking for?

With Demo Reel Dr., there is no need for guessing what studios want or wasting time on useless projects that don’t really help your animation reel. 


You’ll learn in a few hours exactly what should go on your demo reel to get you noticed and called, no matter what job or studio you’re after. 

Can you relate to any of these?

  • You’ve graduated from an animation program, but still don’t feel your demo reel is good enough.

  • You feel uncertain your reel has what studios are looking for.

  • You sent out tons of applications and heard nothing back.

  • If you did hear back, it was only a form letter acknowledging receipt.

  • You’ve been in the industry a while, but you feel stuck at your current level, and can’t seem to get the opportunities you want to advance.

  • You need a new job in the industry, and want to be sure which work you should showcase on your reel.

About Your Instructor

Tim Lannon - Animation Professional Since 1996

Tim Lannon Head Shot, animation professional since 1996

I started my career as an animator, but I’ve also held the roles of layout artist, layout lead, layout supervisor, senior animator, animation supervisor, production supervisor, production manager, writer, and director. 

My work includes feature films, home video series, theme park experiences, games, shorts, and commercials. 

I’ve viewed over 500 demo reels in my career, and I’ve interviewed and recruited dozens of artists for various positions. 

Since 2014, I’ve been teaching animation at the university level and/or online.


Course Contents

Demo Reel Dr. is designed to help leap Y.E.A.R.S. ahead in your demo reel and career development. Y.E.A.R.S. is an acronym for what you’ll learn in Demo Reel Dr.

You can download the Leap Y.E.A.R.S. worksheet below the free preview video.

Y = You - Your "why"

In this module we cover motivation, so you’ll stay inspired to not only complete Demo Reel Dr., but go on to make the improvements to your reel you need to get hired.

We’ll use the More Motivation Map to create a path of motivation that keeps you going strong. We also identify your next step job search.

E = Explore

In this module we learn how to explore the job market to see what positions and skill sets are in demand. You’ll find out if the job you want is available or scarce, and how to pivot if needed.

You’ll record your findings in the Juicy Job Journal, which will help you identify trends in the market.

A = Analyze

In this module I’ll show you how to find and analyze the demo reels of artists already working in the job you want to get.

You’ll use the Demo Diagnosis Details sheet to record characteristics of winning demo reels, so you can plan how to make yours a winning reel too.

R = Resources

Few things are more frustrating than setting out to work on a big project, only to realize you don’t have everything you need to get the job done.

Using the Bountiful Resource Register, we’re going to make sure you have what you need, including a plan, to get your reel improvements done.

S = Skills

Specifically, skills that go beyond the demo reel. We all know a good demo reel is necessary, but that is not all. Without these skills, you’ll still fail to get the job. I call these skills the Goods of Gold.

Using the Good’s of Gold sheet, we’ll follow the M.I.N.I.N.G. framework to learn about these vital skills so you have everything you need to get the job.
