Well, it's been really a while since I haven't posted in NS.
Always working, often on the set or up in the mountains.

So here I am very proud to share with you my showreel with lots of skiing and other stuff. Hope you enjoy.
Haters gonna hate, nevermind. I just hope you'll like what you see, all shot by me of course.

Thanks and good luck to you in the media industry.

i feel like it might have almost been better to have an action reel and another reel for your other work, i felt like the whole thing felt a little disjointed going back and forth between drama and action, just my 2 cents.

You've got some really nice shots in there, but definitely could have been condensed and edited a bit better to the song...

Speaking of the song, because it has been used in another companies very popular reel from last year, it was hard to not imagine it in my head as I watched your reel... https://vimeo.com/66741947

Thank you for the replies. So you wouldn't have mixed all the shots... I take note although now I can't re-edit. But thanks.

Great shots man!

I liked the general idea. You had some really solid work. But to me it felt empty in a sense. It was long with few changes of scenerie. You could have had half the length and it would still carry the same effect. It felt like you had 3 scenes/videos that you kept cutting between, nine Knights, pow skiing, sunset bmx and the short film. Well filmed stuff. But in a reel the client does not need to keep seeing repeated style shots. With all the repeated things it starts to become redundant. Maybe in the future pick your favorite three shots from nine nights favorite three shots from bmx and so on.

Overlal good job though! I loved the shots. The shot of the kid at diner was great.
