Christian: Just a quick note I’d throw your way. Your reel is nice, but it would be better if you cut about 30 seconds from it. We all tend to want to show as much of our work as possible, but you’re letting each spot play too long. Cut it down a bit which will pick up the pace, add some mystery, and improve it.

Hope you don’t mind the advice. You were nice enough to help with the post, so I thought I’d try and help too.

Take care

I’ll give good honest feedback…

You have some good work, but your reel isn’t edited well. You’re letting each clip play far too long. A reel isn’t the place to show each piece from start to finish, it should only take small bits of each work (the most exciting bits) and tease the audience. Take a 30 second spot, chop it up, and show 3-6 second bits, 2 or 3 times in the reel.

My advice would be to start a new edit. Get as crazy and fun as you can with it, then pull back if need be.

Good luck – have fun!

You guys are blowing my mind… 🙂

I’m going to see if I can work this out. I’ve done little with expressions unfortunately, but I think I can drudge my way through it.

It’s a really important project, so I’ll have to!

Thanks a bunch. I’ll post more questions if I have them.
