How long should my showreel be?

A rough rule of thumb suggests 3 minutes is an optimum length for a showreel video, though, as with most things, there’s always flexibility. Don’t outstay your welcome but don’t sacrifice a killer scene just to fit under time!

How long does a showreel take to edit?

Typically I will get a first cut back to you within 2-3 days and a final cut in 4 days

How many revisions will I get?

I’ll do corrections until you’re happy with the reel but clients tend to be happy after 1 revision.

How much will it cost me?

A showreel will cost you £99 total, no matter the revisions required and is payable once you’re happy with the reel

What format will you deliver in?

I’ll send draft copies in low res H.264 with a watermark but final delivery will be 1080p H.264, which Spotlight and other video streaming sites will accept for upload.

Can I have some input on how my showreel is put together?

You can have as little or as much input as you like. If you’d like to provide a running order or notes to follow, feel free! I also export a rough cut so you know your demo reel is headed in the right direction!

Can you re-edit a scene to make me more prominent?

I can trim scenes, lessen other actors lines to give you maximum screen-time

I’m a talent agent, can you incorporate a ‘house style’?

If you provide branding, I can develop a house style for your clients’ showreels to follow.

What if my footage is on Youtube or somewhere else?

In many cases I can download from source, though if it’s on a paid streaming service such as Netflix you may want to contact the production company and ask for a copy.
