For my CTS Year-end project, I decided to put together a small show reel of everything I filmed this year. I know it's not long, I was planning on getting atleast another minute, but i lost some files and i had to have this finished by thursday(today). And also i know i used Odessa - Caribou, the same song from the Gunnie Season trailer, i only realized that after the fact i started making it but fuck it, i don't care.
Let me know what i did good and bad, Colour?Transitions? that type of stuff!

Alot of the color on the shots didnt match, dunno if you wanted it that way but that shit bugs me a little. Also, you used the fastforward transition ALOT. I think it couldve been shorter, IMO shorter the better for reels. other than that, it was dope!

Yeah curtis! that was super sick. I thought the shots varied so much the reel didn't flow super well but it didn't bother me that much. I liked the colors, thought they worked well. Definitely something to be proud of for your first year of editing!

Pretty nice!

The colors were kind of all over the place, I like some, didn't like others, but that's been covered.
I liked the transitions for the most part. The fast forward was awesome, but you used a few too many times. Maybe throw in a long crossfade or two to break up the fast forward. The film burns were alright; if you're going to use them, use them, I felt like you just threw them in. Lengthen those out and they might have fit better.

I don't remember many other specifics
