    archived-videos Feedback on new showreel

    I wouldn't put all scenes together mainly because it requires much more attention/patience and time to fully understand,which producers lack. Arrange killer shots to an energetic rhythm (music) so noone will be tempted to skip through,but rather press replay at the end of it.

    archived-videos Amateur Short, Population Zero

    Where to begin. Watching a random fella walking around for 4 minutes is boring. Gross overacting!!! I think it is very common to all directors,especially beginning ones. The sooner you tone it down the better. The reason it doesn't work is when you have 4 minutes of nothing and than you add...

    Great stuff! ;p Change the music please! ;p It is really not in sync with visuals and is very distracting. Also cut 1 minute of repeating shots on the same locations,similar lighting etc. It will make it more snappy! The dolly which ends on the 00:10, do you have another second of footage to...

    Great stuff! :p I would advice making your own explosions - either green or black screen you can key from either. Use flame,some particles,some smoke should be quite easy on a small scale but it will fit better (more "organic") than using stock effects which are so familiar and so cgi :p
