Suggestions
Are you unsure what to include in your showreel?
Well here are some suggestions which we can develop for you to ensure your skills and talent are expressed to their full potential.
Actor/Actress Showreel
By including a montage at the beginning of your showreel, a casting director or potential agent can quickly be shown what your about and your various looks and abilities. A montage is a fantastic way to quickly reveal your skills before the showreel moves into full scenes.
Model Showreel
Including a gallery is always a must. But including an interactive gallery where a viewer can click around different photographs and video footage can play at the click of a button is ideal for any model who wants to branch out further.
Dancer Showreel
By including a short introduction piece before a video showreel of a dance, a dancer can quickly introduce themselves to the camera and audience. This can be a fantastic and interactive method of revealing what dance skills you have, without the user having to read anything.
