Juies I was more curious about the copyright? Is this audio from the 60's or something?
- Julesvm0
I'm not too sure about copyright... the books are one of those 're-mix' bands... so I don't know about their sources....
A little dubious perhaps, but I've always assumed copyright for demo-reels was a grey area at best. Am I wrong?
- ehh its a fine line. seems ok to me. follow up below with why im askingVikingKingEleven

Jules are there any sites that have pre recorded audio? People talking? Kids talking? Not sound effect stuff but more of a generic audio.
Most of the audio sites seem to be bkg music and sound effects. What are some of the audio sites you frequent? How many of your jobs need actual voiceover work?
What do you do if you need voiceovers but don't have the budget?

Lovely reel

@Viking
I would say that about 99.99% of all the jobs I work on have a composer and we finish at an audio house that has it's own libraries. But on the occasional cheaper job I've used music library sites like apmmusic (get in touch with a producer there - they're great), and it's not a bad idea to spring the cash for 'the general' a sound ideas library of sfx that covers all the basics. But I have to admit, sound is not something I usually have to deal with other than giving creative direction.I hope that answers your question...
- much appreciated. Exactly what i was looking for.VikingKingEleven

Great reel! Makes me want to pick up 3D but I'm low on educational resources and really starting to plateau with animation in AE.
- Julesvm0
@jamesomega give C4D a shot... it's easier than you think and it's integration with AE is tops.

Hey Jules, awesome reel! I recognize a lot of it from the boob tube. Some top notch stuff in there.
You work with Circle(represented by) on Adelaide, eh? You know Mary Naylor?
- Julesvm0
@Andrew nope... Them repping me is relatively new (~6 months) and I've only dealt with Karen Michael and Laurence. Seams good so far. I've only done the tourettes foundation job through them.
Also, glad you like the reel. I see your from TO... where you working?

I liked it. Looked like great work.

Amazing reel. The length was fine for me (said the actress to the bishop!) as it kept me entertained but this isn't my area of work at all so not sure what your clients would expect. Really enjoyed it and the music is spot on.

Beautiful, nice work man. Love the VO, audio, and story telling. Good job.

Such a good reel - super inspiring. You should aim for the fucking stars if looking for new work / job.

I too thought it was a bit long. You lost me at about a minute. I get who you're targeting in your approach but I don't think that's an excuse to drag it out. I think some of the live action stuff probably isn't your strongest- the dude dancing around with the cape or whatever on and the train driving on the face was just really odd for me. That's super nit-picky stuff. Really nice work though, fun intro, and loved the song selection.

thanks for all the feedback guys, great critique (it really helps to get these notes before I'm taking it around to clients) - based on this response and some others, I'm now toying with a slightly shorter cut. I'll let you know if I decide to replace the one there now.
