Critique my showreel please.

Just loaded it up to vimeo and thought I'd try to get some feedback from you guys.

Thanks!

Content and editing is great but I would shorten it.

 

[HKB]

It's excellent... but I agree it is too long.

 

[BGust]

really sick! great timing with sound.
it is long though. make a shorter cut to bring em in.

 

[Justin Marx]

I just watched a lot of your other stuff, and DUDE it's awesome! I really think you have some better stuff in some of those music videos!! Really great work man.. I gotta get into the music video world.. All I get called for is RAP and I cant shoot another rap video.. they are all the same!!

 

[Everts]

The shots I liked the most were the ones after 1 minutes .
Great reel !

 

[Jason Ramsey]

well composed, well lit, nicely graded and edited in my opinion I liked it.

Thought it got a bit "jitter" cut heavy in the middle, which may be prompting some of the responses about it being too long... Didn't seem to long to me... just might look at thinning out some of those shakin' cuts in the middle as it started to feel a bit repetitive in there.

Nice work, man.

Great locations too in some of those shots.

later,
Jason

 

[ThunderDownCountry]

have always enjoyed your work.

 

[Jaramillo]

Great work!

 

[Richard J. Johnson]

Lighting is excellent. What cam do you shoot with?

 

[Broken Science Films]

Really good stuff. I liked the flow and thought the song worked really well, brought a good dramatic feel to it.

 

[Jeff Ray]

Thanks for the comments fellas. Considering the amount of stuff I wanted to put into the reel, I figured the length is suitable. If anything, hopefully people will get the gist of my work in the first minute or so if they do decide to just click it off. And if they do watch the whole thing, all the better.

And everything in the reel is stock HVX.

Thanks for the feedback!

I watched the whole thing, didn't feel like clicking away...
good stuff.

 

[Niels Neeskens]

Dude! Make it longer! Very nice stuff, some of the lighting was extraordinary with the colors you gave it. I am a sucker for the black and white stuff. Keep on the good work!

Is the music custom made BTW. (sounds like music from a big blockbuster, but don't know which one).

 

[Zeakio]

I enjoyed it a lot too, and didn't feel like clicking away!

 

[JitCam]

great video my friend!! lighting and composition really really nice!!

 

[Kyle Stebbins]

Reel was good but there was way too much repetition, man. Cut that ****.

 

[kpop]
