Resumes, Reels, and Rhetoric

Added a shot to my launch sequence and added some stuff to sharpen the look of my egg.

Thar be my resumé

This is a compilation reel from a production outfit and contains footage from multiple cinematographers. This reel even has its own director credited. All of the images are very pretty, they must have top of the line camera. However, most of their footage is exterior shots set on timelapse arms or actuators or shots from helicopters. These are people you hire to make video. They aren't creating their own narratives. They are cinematographers.




This is a reel for Camille Marotte, "director.motion designer" This is a cool reel which included footage, effects, and footage with effects. However It was still very image based. I don't think she can call it a "director's reel" if we don't see or experience any of the performances she has directed. But the reel looks very nice.




This is a very nice reel from an effects company. So pretty innovative stuff shown in here. Still hunting for a "director reel" though




This is a really cool animation reel. Really makes me want to rethink and find out where my "money" shots will be. There needs to be a fantastic aspect about them (amount, speed, color, music, etc...)




Here is a great directors reel. And all it took was to hear his actors talking. How he got them to share their words is how the direct sought to gain an emotional response. It works. I like it.
