Rb Reber Layout / Previs Reel 2024

With the recent release of the latest season of Marvel Studios’ What If...?, I figured it would be the perfect time to update my reel. I’m extremely proud to share a compilation of some of my personal favorite sequences from various projects I’ve had the pleasure of working on over the years.

I feel very fortunate and humbled to have worked on these amazing projects, and am forever grateful to the people who gave me the chance to show what I can bring to the table. Huge props to the entire team and everyone involved in making these shows!
