Marketing Myself - Updating Vimeo

I hadn't really thought about my Vimeo until I saw other folks talk about updating theirs. In hindsight, I think the reason I hadn't touched it in forever is because I don't really see my practice as being heavily animation-based, as I'm more interested in pre-production and illustration. That being said, I can recognise the importance of having some kind of online portfolio of my best animation work.

I've added some more recent videos and updated the thumbnails, as well as putting my signature little logo on and adding a looping portion of my showreel as the banner. Though I know that most of my focus won't be on Vimeo, I still want to have somewhere that I can direct people to see my work. When we finish the final film for Extended, I will put it up privately with a password, so that it can do the festival circuit. 

Marketing Myself - To creative CV or not to creative CV?

I've spent a little time considering whether or not I should make myself a creative CV or not. I looked at a few online, but most of them just look like a regular CV with a bit of colour slapped on there.

Consider our good friend, Name Surname, for example

While I think this looks fine, I'm not very interested in making my own CV like this. For one, I think it's a little pointless to have both a creative CV and a normal one - they seem to function pretty much the same to me. As long as my regular CV is legible and concise, I don't think a creative CV like this is for me.

There are also CVs I found that fit more into my idea of what a "creative" CV might look like. They incorporate the artists' practice a little more into the aesthetic, while still communicating the key points.

I think I would be more inclined to put together a creative CV like this, as it incorporates a little more personality. However, I feel that I have my portfolio for that, so again it feels a little redundant to make my CV in this style too. I can see myself leaning towards this more if I fall towards the illustration side of my career, but while I am still working in different mediums (stop-motion and illustration), I want to keep my CV as clean as possible, while having my work stand out in my portfolio.
