So, through a great email I landed myself an interview for freelance work with a production company that works very close with the Red Sox and uses the DVX. It's Tuesday (2/14) and I need to bring a reel. I've only had my DVX since December, so I don't have much footage yet (it's cold out man). I've got a couple of non-DVX projects from school that I plan on putting on it, but I really want to show off my DVX skills.

I have this idea of a music video type piece that will focus on composition, editing, and a little motion graphics. The song is uptempo but has a jam toward the end that is real mellow where i can slow down the pace. I have 6 days to make this and basically plan on shooting soley in the city and the 'burbs.

Any tips on zazzing up a reel? Yes, time is a factor, but I haven't a choice. I;m thinking some type of narrative, even if its really simple, will benifit the piece. It might be wierd if the whole thing is just random shots.

Thoughts? Suggestions?
 
Leaving Boston Isaac?

Yeah, I was planning on something like that. I lived by fenway last year and have some good footage from the from outside the park during the World Series. I think I can mix that in somehow. But damn, if I only had my DVX then.
