Definition: A collection of work by an artist, animator, or other media professional, presented in video/sequenced format (on VHS, CD, DVD, or other medium) containing a demonstration of their best work. Demo reels are often sequenced in time to music to create more impact in their presentation. Many employers in the animation field ask for demo reels when considering an applicant's qualifications.
