When the Foundry decides to make a sizzle reel, you can expect it to be good, yet who knew it would be this good?

At RedShark, we watch a lot of videos. Call it a perk of the job. But an unintended side-effect from viewing umpteen teasers, trailers, short films and music videos is that standards rise with the level of work, and what was amazing yesterday is today's run-of-the-mill.

Of course, we can always count on the Foundry to deliver a wonderful video. The maker of Industry-leading compositing and VFX software rarely if ever disapppoints. But this jaded viewer was quite simply blown away by it's 2013 Showreel. Not only is the vid a well-crafted, expertly-paced work in it's own right, but it recaps some of the best visuals of the past year in truly stunning fashion.
