i'm confused as to what is your work andwhat is just random video footage...am i the only one that doesn't get it?

Other than the fact that I wanted to slap some of those stage performers...
I'll just leave it at that.

lvl_13, I shoot and edit live events/concerts/and interviews, as well as some motion graphics.
I have the info and what I do at the end of the video. Should I make it clearer, maybe at the begining?

*confused too
what are you 'demonstrating'? I see footage... I see what looks like a game storyboard?... I see some animated graphic design in there too (logos/shapes/type being animated)...
... then there are all these folks... dancing...
... and playing music......
... I don't know what to critique? :)

ahh okay. i think it would be better at the start (in my opinion). i thought you just pulled some videos off youtube and mixed them in or something :)
- PonyBoy0
yep... try and be more clear about what your do... :)

haha ya i was confused so state what it is you do at the start for sure and maybe pick a new song ;)

i would look at what type of work you'll be going after and try to center your reel around that, be it mograph/videography/whatever. regardless though, i'd lose the majority of your live-action stuff. it's all pretty much the same; only choose the very best. some of your mograph is very nice, keep it. maybe put your animated logos near the beginning. start off with your best stuff. check out motionographer.com and take a look at the reels that are linked there. you won't find a single one where they list what they did for each project in the reel. save that for your site/resume. try posting your reel on mograph.net in the wip section.

the music dates the reel back to like '99

I think you should do two short reels, one for live action and one for the graphics. They don't work together very well.
