DPerry.com has an interview with Cananimator Nathan "BentLlama" Walpole of Bungie. There is a lot of good information there for aspiring animators, and a warning as well:

Be wary of showing immature or blatant fanboy material, tattoo art, offensive material or poorly done spaceships or crazed ninja robots. I have seen countless reels that do not take their work seriously.

Well, I guess that nixes our plans to get into the animation biz with our new cel-animated version of All Your Base Are Belong To Us, complete with disco soundtrack. Darn.Thanks Louis Wu at HBO.
