A great question from a video producer: "Is the Demo Reel still necessary? Does it bring value for me?"
The Demo Reel is the bane of a creative's existence. They feel that their entire opportunity lies within this slickly edited video that showcases what they can do.
For me, the Demo Reel is just a business card. It's a teaser. It's NOT the one thing that will get you hired.
What WILL get you hired is your portfolio.
Thanks so much for the question, if you have a topic you'd like me to cover, drop me a line on the Contact page.
