It's a good idea to give it a go, creating a reel is fun...I also would like to do more with 2d or 2.5 d motion images myself, so perhaps it is time to pull the finger out and just do it! I wish I could help you with more specifics for your reel. I had a 3d demo reel from 10 years ago that I made when I got out of my animation course...but it was total rubbish. I still got a job doing 3d straight out of the course, more based on my reputation at the school and a mate at a studio though. Haha.
Hmm you've inspired me a bit to consider jumping into motion graphics again :)
What kind of motion graphics are you thinking of making? What exactly is 2.5 D?
It's often reputation and knowing someone that gets you in a place, I've found. But sometimes a strong reel along without even a coverletter will push you through the door (like a friend of mine). I'm starting to touch up 3D stuff from school and see how to make a 3D reel now. Fortunately I bought a new laptop recently, and managed to get half of the required softwares "free" with student ID. The few other that I had to buy were painfully expensive.....
