my first ever demo reel 2/3 5DII, 1/3 AF100

[mkfotos.com]

I haven't shot many weddings since getting the AF100 (that's changing), so this is 2/3 5DII and 1/3 AF100. Had to put this together very quickly for potential clients to see what I can (and can't) do. It's short, fast paced, and my 3rd or so real edit (yes, I'm that new). I'll be putting together a longer version with slower cuts and a larger percentage of footage from the AF100 soon.

I'd appreciate constructive criticism.

There's some great stuff in there! Really! I would either cut the last shot, or extend the music. Also, put your name on there if it's your demo reel. The only shot I didn't like was the one of the liturgical church where the camera moved from looking down to forward. Around 0:13. Just didn't look as nice as everything else to me.

There's lots of great stuff in here. A couple of suggestions - I'd slow the pace so we can see each shot longer, it feels more like an edit demo reel with lots of quick cuts, as opposed to a dop reel. Let some of those great shots breathe. Also, more bride-centric might be nice. Check out Joe Simon and Elysium films' reels, they're as good as anything in the business. Even if you're not a wedding shooter, there's a ton to be learned from them, particularly for doc and run & gun shooters.
