You've done the acting.
Now let’s show it off.

Possibly both. Casting profiles increasingly use individual clips so casting professionals can go straight to the kind of performance they want to see. But reels still matter too, and you may want a comedy reel, a drama reel, or everything together.

A demo reel puts several of your strongest performances together so someone can get a broader sense of what you can do. An individual clip takes one scene or performance and gets to the good stuff quickly, with the focus on you.

Often, we can make both from the same footage.

A straightforward project will often take two to three hours of editing time. More if you have a lot of footage, the material needs to be tracked down or organized, or the editing is complicated.

If you already have favorites, I absolutely want to know about them. But part of my job is to go through the material with a fresh set of eyes, see what’s working, and help decide what belongs.

A little, but don’t go crazy. I’ll need your files and links gathered well enough that we can find and access everything. You don’t need to decide what’s good, what belongs in the reel, or where the scenes should be cut.

Yes. I strongly recommend keeping your own copy of your original footage and finished files rather than depending on old download links, streaming sites or somebody else’s storage.

If you have an appropriate hard drive, we can also talk about gathering and organizing your material so you have it for the next reel, update or clip you need.
