Video Editing
All of our video editing utilizes the popular Final Cut Pro software and state of the art Quicktime codec H.264. No matter what format you start with, we first convert it to a digital file so the computer can work with it.
Our founder, Stephen Pillster, is fond of saying, "There are no reels which are too short, but many that are too damn long." A good editor brings a critical eye to the project, finding ways to condense a two minute scene to 40 seconds, highlighting your work. A great editor accomplishes that seamlessly, in ways where the viewer is never "pulled out" of enjoying the work because of a bad cut. This work takes some time, but once done the finished product becomes what we refer to as a "personalized clip". String a few of these together and then you have a demo reel.
Because of the cut-and-paste nature of the online world, you no longer have to worry about whether to start your reel with comedy or drama. Using demoreel.com you have the ability to create tailored reels for each submission.
