DEMO REELSÂ BY HALLIE
REELS FOR ACTORS
What is an Actor's Reel?
A demo reel is a collection or montage of your best performances, so casting directors and agencies can see your range and abilities. Think of a reel as a trailer for you and your work. Each reel I make is unique and tells a story. I work to make each reel specific to the desires of the client, bringing their vision to life in whatever format that may be. I make a wide variety of reels, with types listed below. Each film reel I make ranges from about 1.5-2 minutes.
What's the Process?
-
The first step is sending over footage. The client can transfer video files or send online links. If the client needs help getting ahold of any footage, I can assist with that. I strive to make each reel look as professional as possible, but the quality of the reel is dependent on the footage available.
-
Once the footage has been sent, I will review it and go over options with the client. We will discuss demo reel types that could work with the available footage. As well as cast-ability and if there is a particular energy desired in the reel.
-
Then I will send a link of the first draft to the client, and they will give their input on any changes they'd like. We may go through several drafts, until it turns out exactly to their liking.
-
The final step is payment. I use Venmo. Once payment has been received I will send the client the file of their demo reel via Wetransfer. Prices listed below.
"As a commercial and film casting director I cannot stress enough the importance of an effective reel. Hallie expertly and beautifully worked her magic to create demo reels we can truly be proud of. Her artistic eye and attention to detail is top-notch, and we won't hesitate to return in the future!"
