I'm thinking of continuing my studies on graphic design to a masters degree. I chose kent and surrey university. Both of them require to see a portfolio. Since I live in Greece I'm gonna send a quicktime movie with some work of mine.
Here is the movie:
http://idisk.mac.com/dkatsafouros/Pu...sentation3.mov (13.8MB sorry)
The original presentation is at 1024x768. For you to be able to see it I made a half size movie for you to see. The original movie stops on every picture and requires you to press play to continue with the movie. Sorry but this hasn't. You need to press pause a lot cause it's really fast.

Do you think that my work is o.k or do I need to put some other work in it? The texts ofcourse need rewriting so don't comment on that.
Waiting for your answers. Thank you.

Looks great. Nice mix of media. The only thing I would do is end it with a slightly stronger piece. Many tend to look mostly at the first few and last few and some just skim through the rest. I would reverse theh order that the hand drawn images appear, and end with the face.

Looks great...The movie is very well done. I'd accept ya.

Thanks for the nice words. I think you're correct about the strong piece in the end. I haven't thought about it. But that's what all this communnity is about. )

It requires the latest 3ivx codec... I wouldn't be too sure that the places you're sending it to has that phobos.

Phew you are right guys!! I was gonna send that piece with the 3ivx codec.You really saved me!!! I'm gonna choose a sorenson codec.
Here is a movie with the sorenson 3 codec. It wont have any problem playing on your machine.
But it is lower resolution and at 12fps.
Have a look.
