HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?
For a full edit it is a highly competitive flat rate of just £145, and for a 'Quick Clip' it's just £65. Sourcing your material is free of charge - if you are having your showreel edited with FOR REELZIES.
HOW QUICKLY CAN YOU EDIT MY SHOWREEL?
It depends on a few factors, but I try to be as fast as possible without being detrimental to your material.
Once I have the footage required, I can have a reel edited and on your Spotlight CV within 5 working days, subject to you being happy with the result of course.
HOW LONG SHOULD MY SHOWREEL BE?
It’s fair to say that the shorter we can make your reel the better, so I tend to recommend around 3 to 4 minutes. However, this very much depends on the material you have, as well as your agents preferences, your target audiences, and the level that you are working at.
Higher profile performers are often able to have longer showreels, as their standing in the industry allows a certain degree of flexibility. Generally though I would suggest that your reel needs to be on the shorter side, whilst still representing you authentically.
HOW DOes the process work?
It’s pretty simple. After gathering the material that we need, I will upload a first draft of the showreel to Vimeo and then send you a link – you can watch it online, and/or send it your agent for notes/approval.
Alternatively, if you have a lot of material, I can pull your scenes first and send them over for you to watch in one long ‘Scene Selection’ - then in consultation with you and your agent, we can narrow it down together.
Once you're happy with the chosen material, I’ll proceed to refining the work to favour you as much as possible.
As further drafts follow, we simply repeat the process of noting it as many times as we may need until everyone is happy with the final reel.
SHOULD I HAVE A MONTAGE?
No.
I don’t have access to my footage - can you find it?
Absolutely. It’s one of my biggest strengths. Just let me know what you need and i will look for it - most of the time i can come up with what you need, and i love a challenge!
Also, if you have recently been on TV and don’t want to wait for production companies to provide you with a copy - let me source it for you.
I’m aN agent. Can you help?
Absolutely, please get in touch. I build showreels directly for a number of agencies already, including JAG, Thrive Talent, The Artists Partnership, CAM, Belfield & Ward, BWH and a host of others. There is a discount rate on offer to Agents that provide regular clients, and I can incorporate any logos or branding should you want to include them. Feel free to get in touch to discuss.
