Opinions needed on music videos (Letus & DVX100)

[cb1]

I've just completed my 6th music video and want to get your thoughts on my work to see if I should send out my reel to production companies or not. Each video was done with no budget and shot in a day or two, I would of loved to had more time and money but most unsigned musicians are poor and also work day jobs.

Here is a link to my videos and reel: http://theconnerbrothers.com/reel1/

*NOTE: The newest videos are on top and the older ones are on the bottom.

Please give me your honest opinion on whether or not I stand a chance to get some type of consideration from a production company. I am not a good judge of whether my work is good or not, so I really need some help here and your thoughts on my videos would really help me in deciding whether or not I should spend the time and money sending out my reel.


I shot all of the videos on a DVX100 and the newer ones I also had a Letus35 Extreme.

Theory- that's my pick.
Very artistic and illustrative.
I'd lose the first montage with the zooms on the filter knobs- it's not as good as the later montages which work really well.
Lose the last scene- eh, who cares they drive off? I mean, after all the excellent stuff leading up to that point, there must be a better way to close it out....
Explore 'lights' in AE- I think you'll find that very useful for some of the flat scenes. You can move them around globally, and do it on a bezier too.

The first one (Fairchild) was nicely accomplished and effective.
However, it seems a little static in a way. *You must have a theater background?
All the action is depicted before the lens, and the camera doesn't move much (into or within the action).
No harm really- but that's because the stuff happening before the lens is so extraordinary.
Why 4:3? Does it have to be that aspect for consideration?
You can tell a lot of work went into this one (not that the others aren't equally polished, just that this one has a WHOLE LOT of stuff in it).
I liked this one second best.

Madison Drive was quite good too. Had a palpable sense of humor to it that played well throughout the piece.
*Was that a Neumann mic the singer had? Awesome.
It was a well done piece and looked fun to do. That shows well because of that.

Valis was very good. Has some tension in it- but I don't know if I can put my finger on it exactly.
Maybe it's just heavy metal always put me off (not a head banger!)

The others are perfectly fine too (I don't know why I insisted on making a list...)

HEY- NO WORRIES. This is good sht man!
Nothing at all to be concerned about. Send that reel out!
You done good.
REALLY.
No BS.
This is classy work and you should be rightfully proud of it.

Good luck to you!
