Cinematography Reel

As I say to everyone who posts here, I think it's too long. A minute and a half would have been plenty. You have a lot of great shots in there, but you also have a lot of mediocre shots. While I understand why you put it there, the waking up shot at the beginning is not very impressive, among others. I'm not going to go through and pick out which clips should and shouldn't be there. I think that you can see the weaker ones yourself on review. If you run out of less than stellar clips to cut you can try cutting out some of the blue-tinted music videos with probably Magic Bullet induced lens flare. It works once, maybe twice, but gets redundant when included too often and makes people think you're limited to a few stock looks.

I also didn't care for your opening title slate. Seeing those blocks slowly show up made me think that I was watching something from a full of himself film student, the kind who make everything monochromatic and non-linear because they're true artists and not sell outs like the rest of the world. That's not what you are, clearly, but the slate didn't tell me who you are. The text on that same slate also looks unprofessional, but I'm not an expert on text so I won't delve any deeper on that.

Overall it was pretty good. I have to add that because I'm told my direct form of criticism tends to come off as harsh. But it really was pretty good, and I'd hire you if this were cleaned up.
