Reading through http://www.sumea.com.au/sarticle.asp?art_ID=16 , I noticed this quote from Steve Stamatiadis.
quote:If you're new to the industry it might be worth getting a hold of a pro reel to see what you should be doing. If you're in a course it would be worth asking your instructors/tutors to show you their reels/portfolios so you can get a better idea.
I know there's a lot of great work posted in member galleries here on Sumea, but can anyone suggest sites where a n00b can find some "pro reels" to see?

One of my personal favs goes to Jason Osipa. His demo reel just has an unusual way of presenting itself :)

Get the Legolas test as well. Funny.
www.cgtalk.com - You should be able to find some diamonds in the rough there.
www.raph.com - Another source of high quality work.
www.gamasutra.com - Check out the artist section and have a gander through the professional section ( these guys are mostly over the age of 35 ) some of the students portfolios are also exquisite.
Hope that helps [:)]
