| It exhibits your skills very well. And that’s what it should do. The length is perfect. My main rule is “Don’t be boring.” A demo can be any length as long as it remains fun to watch. For others, not us, the creators. I don’t think it matters whether the cuts hit on the beat. I think doing that is pedestrian - Film School 101. When I cut montages, I like for action to fall on the beat as much as or more than the cuts. But, since this isn’t an editing demo, you’re good. Excellent music choice. I’m often annoyed by the music on demos, but I don’t let that color my opinion of the work. Whimsical music says to me that you don’t take yourself too seriously. I prefer working with people like that, but I’m rarely in a hiring position. I’m in your situation: one person shop who often gets projects dumped on me with little direction. I also get corporate branding guides with designs from agencies. Working with either is always a challenge and ultimately rewarding. Thanks for sharing it. Best of luck in your new surroundings. > On Mar 13, 2019, at 5:35 PM, Robert & Jenny <AE-List@media-motion.tv> wrote: > > Good afternoon/evening all, > > I'm in the process of preparing to relocate to Seattle and I realized I had better update the reel which I think is at least 2 years old now. Instead of spamming folks with feedback and such, I was wondering if I could inquire to see if any of you kind folks would be nice enough to be a second pair of eyes for me and are available for a quick reel critique? We can take the conversation off list to spare the others :). > > A few notes for anyone interested. > > The reel is less than a minute long, I'm a believer of less is more and after seeing far too many 5+ minute reels in my life the least I could do is to make it short and sweet. With the exception of two of the spots which were designed by an ad agency, the remainder was designed by myself and everything was animated by me. I can provide information on any cut used in the edit. The toughest part is what to leave on the cutting room floor. > > - Robert Houghton (robert@houghtonmedia.com) > > > > +---End of message---+ > To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> |
