Submission Tips & Guidelines

Reel Submissions

  • Reels should be on DVD or VHS (NTSC) - Beta or PAL will not be accepted
  • Do not send CD ROMS or refer us to a website - hardcopy submissions only
  • Reels should be clearly labeled with your name and contact information
  • The length of your reel should be limited to 5 minutes and consist of the work you're most proud of beginning with your most recent work
  • Music should not contain vocals unless lip-syncing skills are illustrated
  • Please include a credit list explaining what you did on your reel and what software (if applicable) was used to achieve the effects
  • Demo reels should be well edited and concise (less than 5 minutes).
  • ANIMATORS NOTE: Please include all traditional work (life drawings, pencil tests, etc.) either on your reel or with your portfolio

Portfolio Submissions

Please be sure your portfolio is clearly labeled with your name, address and telephone number on both the inside and outside.

All portfolios should contain the following:

  • Samples of your recent work
  • Life Drawings
  • Rough Sketches of animals and humans in movement
  • Samples of your color and design sense
  • We prefer artists to limit their portfolios to 20 pieces representing their strongest current work.
  • Do not send original copies of your work as it will not be returned
