Back when I was studying in the late 90s early 00's it seemed like a new and inspiring showreel would come out every week, lots of aphex twin esque disjointed sound tracks and nicely timed video.
Im talking super fad, mk12, brand new school etc as well as student reels.
Any one seen any good ones lately?

I guess motion-graphics were a new thing really early 00's... studying back then we lapped that shit up, mk12 were our hero's for sure. 3D stroke and all that stuff. Though now you see decent vfx on nearly every second commercial.
Still - there's good stuff being made: ie. guys like

We watch the showreels and it seems so long ago
And you remember how the jingles used to go ♪
