Anyone else watching this as they’re editing a new reel?

@njchad 4 года назад

don't mean to sound snarky, but why else would they search for "demo reel tips?"

For young actors starting out it’s a lot to ask for PROFESSIONAL AMAZING QUALITY FOOTAGE like you can do a well lit monologue in your bedroom as a temporary reel until you get some short films or student films....

@falloutgirl902 5 лет назад

Beubeu George sure and do student films in your area for now, like for any teenager that’s completely fine, websites like backstage are good. Good luck.

Working on my reel now. I don't feel I have enough (film/character) footage to put a legit reel together but thankfully I'm getting there with the film gigs I'm getting now. So YOU, short, and high quality. I'll remember that. Thanks :)

@DeepakMatthews90 4 года назад

Are these Casting directors completely bonkers to expect demo reels with HIGH QUALITY PRODUCTION VALUE from those who are trying to get into the business? Do they seriously think that novices have that kind of money just lying around their house? Nuts

@andrewthaking1 4 года назад

As a real actor .. you figure it out.. don’t complain

@dayuson 22 дня назад

@@andrewthaking1 Production value says nothing about how well someone can act. What exactly is there to 'figure out'? Figure out how to make more money to purchase better technology to make your acting stand out because they care just as much about the production quality as your acting? Are these people looking for how well you act or how well you produce reels.. Your comment was pretty foolish.

This video gave excellent advice on how a reel should be. I'm glad I searched youtube before working on my reel to make sure I produce the best reel for myself possible.

@judcrandall3170 6 лет назад

agree with everything she says but smart phones these days can have amazing 4k camera quality. Nothing wrong with using that as long as theres good sound to go with it

@yrossignoli 5 лет назад

Thank you so much! I just found your channel and watched a bunch of videos! I'm a Mom managing 2 children starting out in acting. Would you please recommend where to look for good quality recording equipment? Any suggestions would help. THank you!

Earlier this year, I attended the Richmond International Film Festival and had the opportunity to sit in for the FLOW Panel. I got to show Erica Arvold and Anne Chapman my demo reel and it was all out of whack. Finally, I'm spending time to revamp my website as well as all the content on it. I had to refresh my mind on what tips Erica had said. This video definitely helped. In the midst of getting my new reel up and running! :)

Oh my gosh! Richard looks like Mort from Bob's Burgers!

@thegrowingartistmindset 5 лет назад

Great advice!! So true that the quality has come up of productions in general so getting high quality footage is more accessible.

@ktoth29 5 лет назад

I think its laughable that "self taping" is a no no but footage from a 48 hr film is good... I stopped working on student films because the "filmmakers" don't know how to operate a camera, they usually use an slr with a kit lens in autofocus.

@pearlsun8119 4 года назад

It really depends on the teams. I've done some student films that are really great quality and have moved on to festivals. Same as 48 hrs film festival films.

Hi, what is the difference between a promo reels and a monologue? Thank you.

@jindialston1099 3 месяца назад

Thanks this was really helpful

@OdeeOz 9 лет назад

Great information! Is there a particular neutral background that we actors should be using for video auditions, and demo reels? I use a light grey, almost ash color, and a very light pastel green.
