It was around 1 and a half years ago that my After Effects teacher told everyone in our class to start a blog and frequently update it with news about the latest projects we work on, saying it'll help us out during our search for employment. As typical college students, none of us (save for one) felt like spending the time or energy on it, and it just sort of slipped out of our minds. Recently, I was chatting with an old friend of mine about recent projects, when he suddenly asked me if I had a demo reel. Being in my final year, the seriousness of not having a demo reel finally dawned on me! The words of my teacher flashed in my mind, while I just sat there without any platform to display my work to potential employers. So I decided to first get my finished work online ASAP, before getting started on a demo reel. Instead of creating just a blog, it made a lot more sense to me to go the extra mile (to make up for the time I lost), and that's what gave birth to this website. I sit here basking in the triumph of completion, a fortnight after getting started, and I think I can afford a few days before I start sulking about my demo reel crisis again :P
