Finally got around to making a new demo reel for myself! Let me know what you all think of it; what you like, what you don't like, what might need to be changed, etc. etc. etc.

Thanks!

Maybe a little long? I dno't know, I thought it was really good. The only shots I wasn't a huge fan of were the ones of feet walking, seemed cliche but I really liked it

you have some nice shots in there, definitely a personal feel to a lot of them. It was a little long and also a little flat in pace, which made your shots (despite being unique) seem to blend together into a similar tone.

also, in my opinion, the title 'Director of Photography' is one that takes time to earn and be respected. To misuse that title may do more harm than good depending on who it is that is watching it. Not trying to accuse you of misusing it, it's definitely a self proclaimed title for most, but just something to be conscious of.

Thanks for the feedback! Definitely never thought of it that way.

I think this is sick, definitely a bit different to the usual reel. For me I think the first half was great and then when the song changed it became i bit to slow paced, i think you should try using something a bit more upbeat for the second half imo but still way good
