Hey guys,

I am very new here, but I love it and I have learned a lot by browsing old threads and watching some of your videos. I think I will stick around for a long time. I thought I would introduce myself with some of the work I have done in the past.

Here is a 1:30 demo reel I put together (unfortunately I don't own enough royalty free music yet, so that's the best track I could find I already had purchased for the time being).

The entire first segment of the reel consists of projects I did in high school. The second part is a mix of high school and freshman year at college. I'm 19.

Tell me what you think!

Oh man, good question. Frankly, I have no clue. I mean, I do odd jobs for people here and there. I've done 3 weddings, and so obviously I show prospective clients some wedding footage. This reel though? I just put it together for fun I suppose.
 
Pretty good stuff, Only thing I could add would be to be aware of aspect ratios, your footage looks a bit stretched in much of it. Also with the earth zoom clip, Is that not the exact clip from the video copilot tutorial? I would be weary of using that.
 
Reel looks really good! Can't wait to see what you do when you get some $$$$ behind you!
