hi

i am an editor ..since 1980 i have worked non stop on docos and in vars tv roles…. i have no reel … i could make one up but it would have no reference to deadlines ect i could also make up an after affects reel or a flash one … neither of which i am particularly adept at .. however given time could fake it

broadcast is ephemeral i have never thought to collect my work

currently i am taking ‘a break’ give the current state of broadcast tv … unemployable by being
uncontactable

eventually though i will want to work and i would want to
broaden my experience who wants to go where they went before

the question is should i fake a reel [ given that i would see it as fake therefore expect others to see it as such and of course could never defend it]
i could of course work freelance in the places i have worked in the past and break copyright and steal bits i have done
but that seems dodgy?

or rely on a resume and hope the employers are cognizant ?
