My 2010 DP Reel

Nice work Mr. Torres. I've been following your work for a while now... couple years at least. Some nice shots in there. I would suggest faster cuts and more variety, but I am one to talk if you ever get to check out my DP reel. I dig it!
 
What lenses did you use for the shots of the woman dressed in white on the beach? Some of those are SOO sharp, i can't believe it's from the 7D.
 
Beautiful footage. I would cut the length of this in half. Cut out the dog shots, definitely the variable speed shot of the dog, its kind of jarring. Think of it as making a new movie out of all those movies. Right now it's kind of like watchin a few shorts back to back. Shorten each small montage. Maximize it by cutting redundant styles of shots... we dont need to see so many different versions of closeups for one. No offense, I am just trying to help... it becomes a bit indulgent. I love the explosions and the warships in the bay, Cut some of those horizon shots from the beginning... Leave one out of the three and cut it in half, or shorter. Don't get me wrong the volume of quality to your work is very impressive, but if anyone wants the volume have them watch those individual pieces separately. Peace... and good luck!
 
Congratulations! You should include your credits as VFX artist as well IMO. And director if it is the case.

E. :-)

I agree with just about everything here. Great critique. I don't know about cutting it in half, but shortening it with the advice given is spot on.

REALLY excellent work Marlon, and there are some fantastic shots in here. I'm a fan.

Well done!

I thought the editing was a bit slow at the beginning and I think you could probably lose half the shots from there and make it a bit faster. But the last half was great and I love the typography at the end.

The extra 5% sharpness? LOL ;-)

I believe it's that small level of difference that makes the result that much better. Hey, i noticed the level of detail coming from a compressed HD website..

and i disagree about it being 5% ( i know you weren't giving accurate numbers ) but according to still posted in another thread comparing both the stock lenses and L series ( or USM - can't remember ) the difference is dramatic.
