Feel free to give me a ring any time. I'd love to discuss any projects you may have coming up in the future. I also updated the reel with a new link, its not hugely different - I just tweaked a few spots after watching it over and over.

Hey everybody, just wanted to get some feedback on my newest editor reel. I spent days finishing up various edits then scrapping them until I finally got the pacing and music down the way I wanted it. I wanted it to flow and actually showcase various editing skills rather than just flash a...

I didn't understand any of it, so its hard to say, but the actors looked decent. So i guess I can only critique it from a visual standpoint. If you are dealing with only one light, you really need to take care in the lighting a bit more. It looked good on the first opening shot, but you...

I agree with you on this devhaven. A lot of film trailers have been giving away a lot - and possibly too much - but it leads up so much story and leaves you hanging that you want to go see it. This trailer due to its disturbing images is almost there, it is effective as a teaser to an extent...

It looks pretty good for the most part. I have seen better looking images on RED, but overall, its still looks good, regardless of what it was shot on. I agree with CDCosta though, I don't really get much from it. I think Indie films usually end up with ineffective trailers. The trailer...

Thanks for the comment. You know, to be totally honest, I wasn't sure how I felt about the flashback part either, that was really something I added at the very end of editing. Since budget was tight, I wasn't given a very wide selection of angles to work with and the artist wanted real flashy...

Hey everyone, Just finished editing a new music video that was shot on 35mm. Check it out and let me know what you think! Artist: Jessica Celious Song: Love Crime Album: Melody's of Life Director: Aaron Celious Cinematographer: Johnny Ching Editor: Cody Cuellar (me) Here's the youtube...

Lead actress was great! Very believable and crazy, but I would have liked to see something happen with the film. I was pulled in, which is rare for short films, I tend to get bored with them for the most part, but with this one, you got me in for the whole thing, but I felt left empty handed...

Hey all, I'm working on a new script right now and I have question about scene headings. I've got a character that moves, so there are many similar headings. for instance. in the beginning of the script a heading may be: EXT. ETHAN'S BEDROOM - NIGHT Later in the script he moves to a new...

Hey guys, I've never edited 35mm before, but I'm working on an indie music video that was shot 35mm and telecined to 29.97 SD. I'm being given just one big video file of everything that was shot. Is this typically how files come in after being scanned, and the editors have to cut it up into...

This is a commercial I DPed, edited and color corrected. It was about $300 budget and shot on the EX-3. The color correction is a bit wack on Vimeo, and its a little too blue, but I can't do anything about that when it gets re-compressed on the site. Let me know what you think! StalkMeCard

looked good! although, the shaking camera was just a hair overused, but other than that, solid video. what was the budget for production on this?

Yea, I don't really have enough content for 3 different reels. Theres about six projects total in my reel, and that's all I have. Three music videos, a short film which I did a couple years ago, a trailer for a film that never got made, and clips from my extreme sports film. So if i were to...

thanks for the comments guys, very helpful critisism. I AM aiming this at music videos right now however. I wouldn't show this to someone whose short film I was about to direct. I'm aiming mostly at music videos. Which is why I put director/editor/DP on it, because most of the content is...

Check out my Demo Reel I just finished here: http://vimeo.com/5947259 Let me know what you think! Most of it was shot on the HVX200.
