Most of my DayJobVu business comes from word of mouth, but as things get tighter in the economy, we all have to reach out farther for new clients. In order to be successful, you need a good demo reel.
I haven’t cut many demo reels before, but I’ve been an editor ten years, so it didn’t seem impossible to learn. So I spent a few days researching great demo reels, reading up on tips, and somewhere in there, it clicked. 48 hours later, I had this.
I sent that out to ten potential clients this morning at 5am. Today, at 2PM, I already have one contract offer and one request for more information.
So what is a good demo reel?
