Tips For Making a Great Demo Reel

Make the first thing they see, the best thing.

No more than 3-4 minutes

Polish will get you the job

Tailor your work to something specific. Do your research. If you know what a college or the hiring committee is looking for tailor your work.

No signs of weakness—misspellings, bad edits, anything tiresome or ugly

They want to see the authentic you. Don’t change your voice.
