Regarding your showreel I must agree with Shannon, you should at least start the music at the very begining of the showreel but not right in the middle of the shot. I was also trying to find out where the music was coming from ;-) oh and I think you can drop the last "lantern Jaw guy" shot. I don't think it brings anything to the showreel. Where is your 11 second entry I really liked? the one from last month I think? Olive hehe yeah I should do that exercise more often, I think this is the only way to train our critical eye.

There's some nice stuff on there but man you have to drop that music track! It's so off putting that i struggled to focus on the acting cuz i was constantly pausing and unpausing your piece to find out if the music was on your reel or another tab in my browser or what. Someone wiser than me once said "distraction is the enemy of performance", and that music is a AAA distraction. Dialogue is fine without any other sounds. Good luck with your work mate, i can really see your progress!" Regards, Shannon Hey mate, just leaving a comment about ya reel.
