BUMP

Demo Reel 2011 #2 from matt robertson on Vimeo.

Looks sick man! my only complaint would be the twixtor at the beginning. i thought it was a little too abrupt and almost unnecessary. Besides that minor detail, it was tight!

My one suggestion would be to comb through the shots you used and really make sure it's really only the shots that stand out. There's nothing wrong with having a reel be under a minute long, I'd even consider it better to have a reel be under a minute long.

I also woulda ditched the twixtor in a few spots because its not really adding much to the value of the shots. But it didn't alias at all which is nice.

Ideally, a reel should be around 30 second long.

I liked how it had a faster pace; the biking cuts worked well. The major thing that bothered me was how you showed clips in regular speed then suddenly went into Twixtor mode...it looked really cheesy. Either show the whole clip or show only the Twixtor'd part, but cutting between the two looks bad.

Also, about half of those ski shots could've been cut out. You only need one jump shot from the side, so pick your best, and leave out the rest. Less is more.

Other than that, really good!

For sure! Thanks alot. Still might change it around a big.

A little bit of inconsistency in your white balance and and exposure was all I noticed. But yeah, basically what Varsity said. Good work!
