Reel Rough Cut

I'm please to announce that my 2010 Demo Reel is completely rendered and has a rough cut. At the moment this is coming in at about 3 Minutes and 45 seconds. That seems much longer then I originally intended, however this is a specialized character reel showing off three specific characters.

I'm in a stage of reviewing what I have in the reel and trying my hardest to objectionably cut entire shots. I feel at this point that every shot I rendered is critical to the reel, so its difficult. My other option is increasing the speed of the shot to 1.5x or 2x it's base speed. I fear that if I do this, I will have to over compensate the speed in other areas. This whole editing process is a juggling act. However, editing is one of my favorite things to do.

I have a few more shots in there that are temporary placeholders for pacing. It's not much work, but it's presentation work. It's all vital in the end. I am hoping to show this cut to other artists and get feedback.

My personal deadline for the reel is Thanksgiving. I should be able to achieve this with few set backs.

I'm very please to say that Joe Parisi (http://www.joeparisiaudio.com/), my company's Art Director, has agreed to score the reel. I think his efforts will increase the professionalism of the end result. I couldn't be more thrilled to work with him on this!

I hope within a few weeks to report that this reel is complete.
