Rendered image of all sides - Preparing for Demo Reel

I have rendered all the sides to my Mountain King model. They will be displayed like this within my demo reel. I need to work out how big I want to scale of the sides of my model,so I can add some text with brief explanations. As well as rendered Images, I want to show the wire frames to my models and show a small clip of each side animated too.

I am planning on adding a few key props/shapes to my demo reel, displaying how they move and work. Then showing an exert from my animation: 'The Call'. I want to be able to show my work in a carefully, clear and organised way.

I think in my case it is important to show in this demo reel the different software's I used. This is so the audience are informed that my 2D character was actually made in a 3D space such as Maya and not just After effects!

Nuke Lesson 04 - Visual Presentation

I did struggle in this lesson to keep up with the instructions but I eventually caught up an understood where to place the nodes to create the effect I wanted.

Using the transform and invert nodes we were able to slide the doors open, showing the matte painting behind. We adjusted the colour saturation in the alpha channels so that the doors layer matched the matte painting behind. 

The next stage is to add the 'green screen' video behind the opening doors. Once this is done, it will look like the man is stepping through the sliding doors.

How I work out the exact frames to the music

Just thought it would be good to show the process and methods that I use so that my movements are in time with the music:

Re - thinking the ending credits

I have gone back to the ending credits and have changed my mind.  My animation is based on the story of Peer Gynt, which is set in the Norwegian Mountains. I looked back at my old concept art of the mountains, trees and clouds and feel it would be a shame to not use it. So I have made it part of the ending credits. I still need to add who the music was by and who made the animation!

Parachute Scene - More Progress

I've added some eye movement to each King and other extra movements too, such as arm/leg swings and head turns. Here is my Playblast:
