Hey, everyone!
Long time no see. I missed you! 🧡😻
I'm Ales, a designer and creative from Czechia who recently went independent. Previously, I was a Creative Director at STRV (7+ years). You may remember me from (successfully) launching The Perfect Grid ebook or Colorinspire here on PH.
I'm excited to share a new project of mine. It was a long time missing in the design community. But not anymore! 😉
Earlier this year, I noticed there isn't a "go-to" inspiration source for design videos. It takes a lot of manual searching to find the good ones, and the latest releases are often missed and forgotten. (Unless someone retweets them.)
I want to change that.
Over the past few months, I've been saving inspiring video showreels. Mostly in categories like UX/UI, motion, graphic design, or 3D. The goal was first to create a collection of videos that I could save in my inspiration library.
But as the list of links started to grow, I thought I could do much more with it. Besides, why not help teams and individual creators to promote their work?
And like that, the idea of creating Showreelz.com 🎦 hit me.
Showreelz is a creative feed showcasing inspiring and notable design videos. It's a new inspiration feed similar to what you may know from Siteinspire or Awwwards. But this time, it's all about videos.
I designed and built the site myself in Webflow. It includes simple filtering by category (more coming soon), and the highlight is the video detail page. I'm using embeds from YouTube and Vimeo so creators get views on their original piece of content. But most importantly, there is a direct contact link so if anyone likes the video, they can get in touch with the designer (or team) who made it. Public submissions are not open yet as I'm launching the site as "beta" first. But later on, it should be a community effort to help this grow.
I hope it helps designers, big or small, to get inspired. But also to gain exposure and potentially score new projects!
Ready for any follow-ups or questions. I will reply as fast as I can (I'm based in the CET timezone). 🤘🇨🇿
