Foundation Imaging LOVES spaceship reels, if they are done well.

It even says so in there reel requirements.

...at least it did about a year ago...

Of course, I could be full of crack

I suppose the best way of going at it is creating a short. With a story, showcasing storyboard art, animatics, and generally every aspect of 3d you´re proficient with. You could also check what position they are hiring for, and create a piece showcasing work only done in that technique.

What I found interesting was that almost all demo reels primers shouted at the first lines: NO MORE STARWARS! ... Lol (makes you think)
