What do you look for in a composer reel?

[randin]

People post their reels for review here often and it got me wondering if my ideas of showing my work as composer relate to what you as filmmakers would want to see. DP reels, for example, are often very quick edits of as many good looking shots as possible. For me, to check out a composer's work, I'd need to see & hear more of how music works against a scene, so quick clips wouldn't work. So what I've done at http://www.randingraves.com/video.html is provide a comedy reel, darker and light drama reels, and a commercial reel, each under 5 minutes, with longer clips of films rather than just quick snippets. I've also got a music page and a filmography page with clips of everything I've worked on if people want to look further at my work or if I want to point someone to something specific. But maybe you all would rather see a bunch of quick clips showing all the different styles of music I can do.

So, if perchance anyone's interested, I'd love to hear some feedback on what I've done or any tips on what you'd like to see to evaluate a composer for your projects.
