As an excuse to try out my shiny new Premiere Pro CS6, I decided to cut together a demo reel for the videos I've made thus far. I wasn't planning on making a reel until I had gotten some legitimate projects under my belt, but like I said I needed something to do!
Anyway, I'd like to know what people think. How does it flow, how could it be improved, etc?
The primary goal of this video is to hopefully get a few craigslist gigs, so with that in mind how does it look?
Thanks!
Lots of really nice shots, I like your work. The thing that jumps out at me is that you've used a quite 'heavy' song, and the reel isn't really put together in an energetic way or shows anything with any impact for the drops. Probably a personal preference thing but if I had those clips to put together I'd wack in something more delicate (piano, violins, ambience etc) or something like this:

Fair enough. Yeah the song choice is pretty much because I happened to be listening to Adventure Club at the time that I decided to put this together
I have a few craigslist gigs that will hopefully pan out soon, so then I'll have some more serious projects to put in my reel. I took care to cut on the beats of the background song, but what else would you rather I had done to make it more energetic? Faster cuts? Transition effects? Something else?
