Your showreel is your most important promotional tool
Most editing services simply assemble scenes resulting in an unmemorable, bland reel
Therefore most showreels don't get watched beyond the first minute
Create a reel that stands out from the crowd and gets you noticed
Showreel philosophy:
You work with the editor to make a red-hot reel utilising the best of your work
The reel shows off your talent and is exciting enough to keep agents watching
The reel is a commercial length (under 5 minutes)
Maximise your screentime & give your character added weight by cutting other characters superfluous dialogue
You walk out of the edit happy
Actors get a free consultation This has several clear advantages
You meet the editor, and decide without obligation whether you want to cut the reel here
You get new ideas from other reels about how to approach your work
The editor becomes familiar with your material and can come to the edit with ideas
This minimises the time (and therefore cost) in the edit suite
A typical reel will have an image of the actor, their name, underscored by music, which leads into a short montage sequence. This is followed by a selection of scenes and finally the music is reintroduced as your contact details come up on screen.
Things to bring with you: A selection of music
A publicity shot either on cd or a photo for scanning
A clear head and positive thoughts
Actors who have their reels cut here work as a result
