Totally agree with Eric on the website design. It's a quick judgement call for potential clients, and a professional site builds trust.

[@SkunkLifeMedia]

hmmm...interesting point about making your reel more specific than a....buffet of sorts. I always thought it best to show off variety....

Such valid points, thank you

[@Texasphotoguy]

Great information. I’m just starting out and have purchased stock footage to make my own edits. Is it okay to use that as a demo reel despite me not doing the actual filming?

[@FerusGallery]

That sort of defeats the purpose of a demo reel, clients only want to see your work. If you haven’t shot it, don’t include it.

[@BarnabyClarkeProductions]

@@FerusGallery unless its for editing? then maybe its okay?

[@ISpeakOnlytheTruth]

It can definitely be used to show off editing. So if you're doing like an explainer with other complimentary motion graphics or something like that it shouldn't be an issue. If it's just footage you're adding in to cut with and nothing more then don't do that lol. It's not your work and I don't think just showing a nice mountain landscape shot by someone else sells your own skillset well lol.

[@Texasphotoguy]

@@ISpeakOnlytheTruth Yeah sorry I should have been more specific. It’d be used to show editing skills only, and I’d never take credit for film work I didn’t shoot myself.
