Elliot Rudmann Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Hi, I recently cut together a 2 minute 15 sec demo reel that I am using right now for added leverage when I start interviewing for internships. I am a 20 year old film student at Emerson College (Boston) and although my primary interest is in cinematography, I am trying to secure an internship at a post production house which is why I added "editor" at the end of the reel. From the other reels I've seen posted at this site, I feel a bit intimidated posting mine because the quality of my footage doesn't really compare, as it is comprised of only 3 student films (2 on 16mm and 1 on DV) with some very small budgets. Nevertheless, I am still motivated to improve it but in the mean time this is what I have and I would appreciate all of the honest feedback/suggestions/comments I could get. you can view the reel here: http://www.enzymefilms.com/erdemo.mov Thank you very much!

Premium Member David Regan Posted June 26, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted June 26, 2007 Your very first shot in the reel is waaay to fast. I don't even have time to evaluate its quality before its just a flash of white and its on to everything else. I would suggest lose it or if its a really strong shot to start the reel, make it longer. Otherwise some good stuff, I liked some of your kinetic camera work. Some of the lighting worked for me, some of it felt very sourcy and obvious. Keep working hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iga Mikler Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 i think if you tried loosing the detail shots of the cooking process your reel would be stronger visually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby L Edwards Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I really liked the 16mm stuff. Nice pace to the the Reel. I agree about losing the cooking stuff. Keep on shooting!!! Toby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
