    Sorry I know the “let me know what you think” wasn’t directed towards me but I just took a look at your site and have some thoughts.

    I’m not meaning to be harsh at all, but I felt like I took a step into the 90’s when I went on your page. I have a feeling you have a ton of great, new and modern work, your site should reflect that. I use square space for my portfolio website, stopped using wix years ago because of the clunky look their sites can give. The cleaner your site can be the better. For the contact page, you should have an email form rather than your actual email (this gives you a more of a pro look). The thing that confused me the most at first was the 3 pages labeled portfolio. Your website is literally your online resume so only include the top 3-6 videos you’ve ever made.

    The reel you had featured was ok, but I feel like (either you should replace it or) there’s a few things you can do to improve it. First things first; take away the awkward titles in the beginning, its giving me a blast to the past. If you want some titles in your reel, make them integrated in a way thats more modern. I’ve never been a huge fan of titles in reels personally, but if you’re gonna do them you should do them in a style thats more relevant to today. Combine your two reels, they shouldn’t be separate and you should only show your best stuff. An awesome reel I stumbled upon recently is this one: https://vimeo.com/62144295 This guy’s got it down, I think it would be great to look at to come up with some ideas. His website looks great too: https://jasoncalhoun.net/

    Sorry if what I’m saying seems harsh, I’m just trying to give you a push in the right direction.
