For demo reels it is important to be making the best impression on your employer, so you should get as much information and opinion on your demo reel as possible.
Only including your best work is super important, because even if you have some personal connection with a certain piece in your reel, it is super important to ask yourself and others if it is actually that good. Keep your reel short, 5 to 10 minutes is way too long for a demo reel, those reviewing and viewing your reels have limited time to be watching your reels so keep it down from 1 to 2 minutes.
Make sure to begin and end your reel with a bang! It will leave a lasting impression and will really show your strongest work. Do not muddy your reel with too much, you must be clear and highlight what is important. Next make sure to bundle your shots together to make sure that the pace feels rhythmic and more engaging. Lastly send your portfolio with your demo reel to show your creative talents outside of animation.
