    Whacked together a showreel a few months ago, only just got round to putting it online.

    Check it out and tell me what you think.

    It's WMV file, about 4.7MB. It will take up 3 minutes and 48 seconds of your time [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]cool.gif[/img]

    My crappy version of WMP here at work can't decompress the picture, only the audio. So I can listen to the soundtrack.

    Will watch when I get home tonight.

    IMO it needs to be shorter and show that you are more than a one-trick pony (okay, maybe I counted three tricks).

    If I were you, which I'm not (cos that would just be weird), I'd scrap that reel and edit together something that gives some context. Why not string together some of your favourite scenes and soundbites from your stuff rather than a mush of slapstick and bloodsplats? If you want to keep the current format I'd strongly suggest a running time of 60 seconds or less.

    At the moment it looks to me like a bunch of mates having a laugh with a camcorder and a squeezy bottle of ketchup ...

    Usually, when I'm sending out showreels and stuff, I put that on the beginning of a tape, followed by the full films. I think that if I did a reel of scenes, the tape would get really repetitive.

    Still, once I get my bleedin' camera fixed, I'll put one together and see how it goes. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

    You say that like it's a bad thing.

    Occasus, I saw the stills from your work. Looks like you had a crazy afternoon! Best of luck with everything. Did you get the film finished?
