英文源自Pixar官方网站的FAQ。翻译出来给大家看看，Pixar的动画指导和动画总监们建议你在动画的Demo里应该放什么他们爱看。

And in an effort to hit you with even more information, below are some quotes from our Directing and Supervising Animators about what they like to see in reels:

我宁可看15秒的美妙动画，也不想看3分钟那么长的没法看的电影。如果样样不行那三分钟会非常的难熬。

“I’d rather see 15 seconds of amazing animation than 3 looooooooooong minutes of an unwatchable film. Those 3 minutes can feel like an eternity if everything isn’t perfect.”

你想申请动画方面职位？好——展示好的动画给我！给我看表演。展示思考。告诉我角色是活的。我不在乎灯光，模型，材质，粒子特效，或者你多聪明。给我些我没看过的东西让我折服。一个拥有独特个性的原创角色！

“You’re applying for Animation? Well–show me good animation! Show me acting. Show me thinking. Show me a character that is alive. I don’t care about lighting, modeling, shading, particle effects, or how clever you are. Blow me away with something I’ve never seen. An original character with a distinct personality!”

你画画吗？你是个好设计师吗？很好！确保你在电脑动画中也展示这些出来！

“Do you draw? Are you a good designer? That’s great! Make sure it’s in your computer animation as well!”

动画。电脑。手绘。定格。玻璃下沙画。如果你的Reel超级棒，我们会要你的。不管什么介质。我们不要看只有电脑起作用的那点东西。

“Animation. Computer. Drawn. Stop Motion. Sand under glass. If your reel kicks arse, we may hire you regardless of the medium. We don’t want to see only computer stuff.”

保持你的Reel简短凝练。我们在Reel中看很多东西，所以如果奇怪的，老套的，不太好的东西在开始，我们可能会在你的好动画出现前退出带子！我们不管你从哪来——我们需要知道你现在有多棒。最好的放最前面。

“Keep your reel short n’ sweet. We watch a lot of these things in reel review so if there’s weird, older, not-so-good stuff at the beginning we might pull the tape out before your great stuff! We don’t need to see where you came from–we need to know how good you are right now. Edit down to your best stuff.”

传统动画师受现实生活的启发，还有所有他们周围的电影。你也一样。我们不要动画书呆子。我们要那些从他们自身的经历中，从真人影片，还有当然从动画泰斗们那里汲取养料做动画的人！

” The classic animators were inspired by real life and all of the other films around them. And so are we. We’re not looking to hire Animation Nerds. We want people who draw from their own other experiences, from live action, and yes, from the Old Masters!”
