Reviewing Your Demo Reels

I have strong feelings for you as well, Mark! Thanks for the advice too!

"Showreel" or "Demo Reel" ?? 🙏

can i send you my demo im an fpv pilot

Please check out mine! Just posted it

Been binging these videos and I’ve already learned so much. Thank you! 📷🎥

Any tips for creating a video editing reel?

Super insightful feedback! Thank you!

This is super cool! Even with it being other people's work, I've taken note of the feedback you gave and will definitely try and implement it into my own reel. Any plans to do another one of these?

This was an amazing video. I have learned so much in 13 minutes. Its ridiculous

Hi Mark, will you ever do demo reels review again?

Great to find you guys!! Awesome work and great tips 👌🏼🍻

But whats wrong with being a jack of all trades if you've put the years behind learning each trade. Hate that this stigma has been created.

Do you think clients would hire just based off a reel or do they generally want to see finished work? I have typically shot for producers so I don't have much for full finished work.

When are you going to review reels again? I would like you to review mine and give me helpful feedback.

the back shot of the girl in green was actually really very very very good.

why wouldnt you like it?

Great video 💯

Awesome work guys! Learned a lot! Thank you ❤ Now cutting my first reel for a director friend. My challenge: he has a lot of works from years ago with (in my view) meh cinematography. What’s your recommendation? Kill the overworked (color corrected) footage or keep it and try fix the pieces or ask him to get Raw’s from this DP’s?

Interesting that you so strongly recommend a reel to get work. I say that because I've come across a lot of guys working as dp and or cam op who say they never create reels. They always get hired by word of mouth.

Great feedback! Learned a lot!

Really enjoyed this. Thank you

Just came here by accident, but I have to agree, great review Mark

super useful video, thanks

That was kinda fun....now im up 2 am working on final cut...the work is real...reel?

What's a "clipped shot"?

I dont understand these Reels, where are the CG? where are the breakdowns?

hey mark, when are you reviewing some demo reels again :) ?

Great value!

Start with a wide shot. Thank you Mr Mark Bone

I bet my reel is better than most of you guys
(18+ years doing media)
and my website is prob better than most as well lol

Just now finding this video today! Will you guys be reviewing more reels in the future?

So a reel should be 60 seconds?

I love that Mark is so nice that he says he's ripping apart demo reels but it's actually friendly constructive feedback 😅

I did not skim through this video! 😁

I'm a journalist, and creating short films is such a crucial skill for us as we constantly create video packages and scripts. it really is a profitable skill in more than one way. I so love the film making industry.

Love this. I know a lot of these tips apply to reels overall, but would love tips for postproduction reels.

"just like you, you already probably skipped through this video"
looks around
"damn, he read me like a book"

Very valuable ❤

Great stuff!
Can't wait to be a part of this community hopefully soon 🔥🤞🏼

cool video & great tips! thx man!👍🏻

Always so busy running full tilt with client projects I never squeeze in the time to make the reel content I'd love. Need to work on that. Thanks for the inspiration Mark!

I didn't skip..☺

This was amazing would love to get mine reviewed! Will surely be joining the zoom meeting.

Time to redo my reel lol. Mark you amazing 🙏👑❤️🎬🎥

Wonderful advice, as usual!

soo true re: wide vs tight. lot of folks shoot their 50 wide open and rely on it too much. proper wide is difficult to shoot, utilizing the entirety of the frame correctly. love these reel reviews Mark, always learn something from them, thanks again.
