    But I’m distinctive inside,
    there’s more to me for people to learn.

    It ain’t got a wall
    But I can replicate just fine anyway.

    I’ve got plasmids, they’re round, they’re genes but not like my main chromosomes

    They can do their own thing
    In other bacterium make their homes.

    Look at my ribosomes too, they make the proteins I use in my cell

    I’m full of thingamjigs
    Known together as my organelles.

    My capsule, like my walled cell gives me strength and helps me my shape retain

    And what goes in and goes out
    Is taken care of by my plasma membrane.

    And all over my shell, check out my hairs entitled pilli that cling

    And just watch me move
    my flagellum from side-to-side, watch it swing!

  2. Hi Peta
    Love the way the showreel starts off with the zoetrope animations. Also I thought, good choice of music!
    Enjoyed seeing the sack rough plan drawings, followed by the sack animation. Some clips of animation are quite short (bouncy ball, walk), perhaps you could repeat them in your showreel edit... feel free to bring us back to them at some point as it would be good to enjoy more of the walk even if its repaeted. Similarly, you could play a bit more with your edit; like breaking apart the long pixillation sequence and having them re-appear in smaller chunks rather than one big chunk, more rough drawings, especially adding in a few of your charming character drawings of the last exercise, and title text in the start of the showreel. In terms of work thats missing here, hope you can add them in: smells animation, cut out bouncing balls, follow through, character walk + prop.
    On the whole, exciting to see it coming together. WOuld love it if your showreel does more justice to your wonderful and charming animations. Goodluck!
