The following is a
selection of
actors show reels edited from the footage they provided. Your show reel footage from DVD or tape
can be edited into a slick and punchy compilation, which casting directors and
agents will watch without being bored. If you want a reel with a long montage at the front end, I don't do them! Not
because I can't, but because I am sure casting directors do not want to see them!
They assume you can walk, run, laugh and smile when required...you don't need to
make the viewer sit through a montage which just uses up valuable time on the
reel.
CAN I USE FOOTAGE SHOT FROM SCRATCH?: Some actors assume fresh footage
will not look or sound as good as footage taken from a film or TV programme. As long as your reel shows you acting and
reacting well, and it conveys the message "this is a good actor" your reel
has done its job! Therefore creating some new scenes, well focused with
clear sound and shot on a professional camera, is perfectly acceptable. Granted, badly shot footage with terrible
sound will not be viewed favourably, but I only shoot with a professional
camera, and quality mic; this will look and sound very
good. contact me
PREVIOUS CLIENTS HAVE SAID...
"I found Mark totally committed to giving me the showreel that was best for me.
Great attention to detail, and lots of advice on what works best for the
industry marketplace. Choosing the right scenes, finding the pace, music and
editing, were all made easier with Marks knowledge and technical know-how.
Getting it onto the right formats, for Spotlight, agent and casting directors
was also made simple and quick. I would not hesitate to recommend Mark to any
actor looking to make a new ,or re-edit an old showreel."

This is the second show reel Mark has edited for me. industry people having
viewed it - always comment on its excellence. Mark is very thorough, and ensures
you are completely happy before making the final DVD. He also helped me with the
correct FILE formats for Spotlight etc. I completely recommend his services and he is
excellent value for money JAMIE KENNA.....see

Mark provided an excellent service. I provided him with very little material to
work with, but he created a seamless showreel that tells a story in itself.
Furthermore, he worked at great speed to finish the job and took great care in
implementing the various elements I wanted to include. As an actor with many
years in the business, Mark has a detailed knowledge of what is required in a
show reel, so his honesty and suggestions meant I got a show reel that was
completely tailored to me. LIANNE-ROSE BUNCE.....see

Mark was great, and really took the time to edit my showreel from my own
supplied footage and it's just as I wanted it. Mark re-edited some of the
footage to feature me even more. He made certain I was completely happy with it,
and helped me with the final DVD and website encoding for CCP and Spotlight
versions. I did not have to worry about anything. I would certainly recommend
Mark to anyone wanting a showreel. AIDAN STEPHENSON.....see
