Putting mograph skills into a reel ?

I've been using C4D, PS, AE & Zbrush for many years. Learning lots of stuff and creating little bits and bobs, everydays, etc. Over the past year I decided that I want to get a job in motion graphics / 3D.

I need to build a strong reel & so my question is this -

Can you folks recommend good places to get briefs, projects, etc ?

This way I can work on them and build a varied reel.

Also considering getting a mentor so they can give me project, deadlines and guidance.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Best way to start building a reel is to give yourself projects, and offer to do them for people. Where do you live? Are you near any ad agencies? Churches, non profits, local businesses?
