Please rip on my reels

[dcarstens]

I just cut a new narrative reel for the first time in nearly 3 years, and I'd really like some in put in making it as lean as possible. I'm not seeking a lovefest for my work; rather, I really want to know what DOESN'T work, as it's still a work in progress.

I've also updated my live reel, which I'd appreciate the same type of input on.

Thanks!

From a layman's view this looks great to me. The cutting seems to be either on the beats or the half beats, which if otherwise off or sporadic I usually pick up on with amateur music videos. So first impression is no complaints and great job. Sorry, hehe.

//edit: well, again, just an uneducated opinion, but around the second half of the second video I might do some cuts as they fall on the tips of the words from the vocalist. Right now some cuts seem randomly placed lyric wise. Maybe cutting some at the beginning of a word might make it seem tighter.

I guess at points of interest in the music. Beat accents and changes, lyrics, ect. You know way more about this than me. Interesting stuff.

??? Anyways thanks for the view.
