jason joseffer Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hey guys. Updating my reel a bit. Any feedback would be super helpful and greatly appreciated. It's less than 3 minutes in length. Be harsh- http://www.jasonjoseffer.com/bigqt.htm Thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Johnson Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Jason, Some great stuff! My favorite shot is through the confessional booth (I assume) of the the priest walking,.. it's amazing! Your last 3rd is great. You're first 2/3 is hit and miss. Some shot's look epic and cinematic while others look like video. If you're demonstrating versatility then I think your reel is great, but if you're going for cinema I think you should chop out a 1/3 of your reel and keep just your best work. Shoot for 2 minutes and keep only the awesome stuff. Stuff like the vet, light rail, and ocean seem like stock footage. I love all the religious stuff except the rack focus from the glasses, it looks like a lens adapter. Cool stuff though, you told me to be harsh so I hope it's cool that I was! You rock! - Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason joseffer Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 Thanks a million man. Really appreciate it. Hopefully I'll have a chance to cut it up sometime soon. All the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Rosenbloom Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I'll just second what Greg said. You know what looks great and what looks pedestrian; lose the pedestrian stuff. Also, I can't take the info card at the head. It's gimmicky, slow, and annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Johnson Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) I forgot to mention your titles. I meant to say what Jon just did. Just stick with a still title card, it's all you need. - Greg Edited May 23, 2008 by Greg Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Biron Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Mostly great reel... I'll say like the others that there are some shots that don't cut it with the quality of some of your work (guy with the guitar, waves crashing against reef... And, well, that's totally personal, but I don't really like the typo of your title card... Sometime more subdued would seem more fitting.... But, anyhow - I must finish on a bright note : you really have some way cool shots : I really enjoyed the lighting of the shower scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
