'Example Showreel'

For creating my showreel at the end of the project I need to know what a showreel should involve.

Here is an example I found by Kieran OSullivan an Australian Technical Artist.

He has also included a PDF file with a breakdown of each piece shown in the reel, I think this is a great idea, it doesn't have to be read but if someone has interest and wants to learn more then they have the information at hand rather then having to take time to email, wait for replies etc...they might not hold enough interest to put in that amount of effort, but after reading about the projects be willing to spend more time on the person if they fit the bill.
