L.Gustavo Cooper/ Director Reel 2011
Let me know what you think!
Nice work! If you're interested in feed back, I think it could be half as long. I like the shot of the dude flicking the stars away, the sequence with projections on people's bodies, some of the shots from the bike video best. Simply because the ideas are distinctive and an easy read. The photography is slick throughout. :)
I think director reels are outdated, people want to see work, not a montage of shots.
I agree with Jesse. I'd also focus on your band performance set-ups, especially the lead singer hero shots. That's what commissioners at major labels want to see from a young director. "Selling the records."
The photography is slick. I'd agree that it could be shorter. Think about the manager, commissioner and/or A & R rep watching this on their i-phone on set or in the subway. i-Phone, pad, and pod viewing is common. Hence why wiredrive plays so well on mobile devices.
Nice job man, and certainly good work. Best of luck!
Thank you for the positive feedback! I am looking into wiredrive and shorting the demo reel. I am a student in my senior year so this is all new to me. Thanks again!
