Grab More Footage Than You Think You Need When Creating a Demo/Sizzle Reel…

Within the creative space, most of us have to put together a demo reel of our work. Having done demo reels (as well as sizzle reel) for the past 10 years, I’ve learned that you always need to download/pull/grab WAY more footage than you think you’ll ever need. And so it is my suggestion to to this work upfront, rather than the editing phase. During the editing phase you want to be working at the speed of thought and that doesn’t happen when you have to start and stop to grab more footage. In a sense, it’s a matter of batching the work into various stages. Please comment down below with any questions or thoughts that you may have. Or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. I’d love to hear from you.
