My demo reel, critique is welcome :)

[Kewlbum]

Hello again conceptart.org, I'm posting my demo reel here hoping to get some critique on its composition. I know its a little long, but I feel every piece is beneficial to show my work. The purpose was mainly to be used for scholarship review, so i understand it may seem difficult to find the aim. But either way, I think its a good showcase of whats generally necessary of a Digital Animator. Anyways, let me know what yall think, thanks!

If music is detrimental to your demo reel (shots looking out of synch although they may not be), don't put it in. In this case, your bears animation would be better suited to have the original song on. Either cut the music or stick to your bear song.
Why does the music cut in some places?
I'd remove the talking head; it doesn't seem to be on par with the rest of your work in the reel.

my 2 cents.

at the minute its not an animation demo reel, its a sort of animation, modelling hybrid, you could cut upto a minute off by not showing your models that people don't really want to see when hiring for animation.
Also the shots feel too long and too drawn out, I must say I got bored at about 1 minute in and started skipping through parts.
