Sure, but most ‘polyhistors’ I see are RU-vid University graduates full of bull, who do everything a little bit with absolutely no direction or style whatsoever
@@XY-ep8uz Agaim. broad brushstroke right there. There are those of us with diverse portfolios that actually help us make really focused content and have an eye for details that specialists may not even be aware of.
keeping it real mate hehe theres some clever folks out there aye always appreciate your views on edits id luv to hear what you think of one of my dodgy creations maby one day aye hope your well man keep the good times coming cheers
Let’s remember that everything is subjective .. Great out look on things. Filmmaking is about setting yourself apart. ! Loved all the reels though and dope video like always Mark
This is super helpful. I have been wanting to make my reel for a while now and I didn't really even know where to start. Nothing on RU-vid was helping me until this. Thank you!
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.
@markbone thank you for the feedback! Jeremy Tan here! Eventho the reel is a tad bit outdated your constructive critique really hits the spot on this reel. Really appreciate your words and thank imma start a petition #nomoremicrojitters :)
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.
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?
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.
4:21 I disagree. Anyone can shoot wides. Especially with architecture or landscape acting as a framing tool. They are the easiest. But to shoot a good, emotional, well framed and staged shot in close up? No man. Altough I may be biased as I'm looking at it from the director's perspective, but I still strongly disagree.
Is it just me wondering at 1:12 how that lens is mounted to the camera without a rods and a the little lens support. Isn't that risky? specially when you held it by hand since its cinema glass
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!
Wow at 4:59 - Barnaby Riggs reel that you played back as it was so strong... that "woman running across this bridge" is Laura Horvath in there the current fittest woman on Earth from CrossFit... That takes my idea out for one of my documentaries lol
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.
@@markboneexactly. while it's more to manage, you're telling (showing) more of the story. WA is def under-utilized for these very reasons - perhaps subject for upcoming vid? pros/cons/frame utilization/avoid overuse etc.. again, keep up the great work Mark, real resource to the community 👌
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?
