Help on Demo Reel
I am planning to bring out a demo reel. Could someone give me guidance how this demo reel should be ? I have taken a song (of my local language) sequence enacted by my friends for about 10 mts. Will this be ok, if I want to show it people who doesnt know my language ? Of course, the music and the editing should be of interest to them. Please let me know.

From what I’ve seen, and done, a demo reel is edited for content. Most people hiring aren’t looking for your taste in music, unfortunately.
If this is just to show to friends and such, go nuts.
A well edited demo reel should encapsulate what you are capable of doing with the tools you have available to you. It should also showcase what you’ve been able to do for your clients in terms bringing them something original to the table for that particular client.
Check out the CC Demo Reel forum. Those guys are some of the most honest critics out there for content and flow of a demo reel.
