Sure, but most ‘polyhistors’ I see are TH-cam University graduates full of bull, who do everything a little bit with absolutely no direction or style whatsoever
@@XY-ep8uz Agaim. broad brushstroke right there. There are those of us with diverse portfolios that actually help us make really focused content and have an eye for details that specialists may not even be aware of.
This is super helpful. I have been wanting to make my reel for a while now and I didn't really even know where to start. Nothing on TH-cam was helping me until this. Thank you!
Let’s remember that everything is subjective .. Great out look on things. Filmmaking is about setting yourself apart. ! Loved all the reels though and dope video like always Mark
soo true re: wide vs tight. lot of folks shoot their 50 wide open and rely on it too much. proper wide is difficult to shoot, utilizing the entirety of the frame correctly. love these reel reviews Mark, always learn something from them, thanks again.
@@markboneexactly. while it's more to manage, you're telling (showing) more of the story. WA is def under-utilized for these very reasons - perhaps subject for upcoming vid? pros/cons/frame utilization/avoid overuse etc.. again, keep up the great work Mark, real resource to the community 👌
I'm a journalist, and creating short films is such a crucial skill for us as we constantly create video packages and scripts. it really is a profitable skill in more than one way. I so love the film making industry.
This is super cool! Even with it being other people's work, I've taken note of the feedback you gave and will definitely try and implement it into my own reel. Any plans to do another one of these?
Wow at 4:59 - Barnaby Riggs reel that you played back as it was so strong... that "woman running across this bridge" is Laura Horvath in there the current fittest woman on Earth from CrossFit... That takes my idea out for one of my documentaries lol
Is it just me wondering at 1:12 how that lens is mounted to the camera without a rods and a the little lens support. Isn't that risky? specially when you held it by hand since its cinema glass
What's bad about a jack-of-all-trades? That's been my career in a nutshell. If I'm ready to move into more Production Manager positions, can't that be a good thing?
Always so busy running full tilt with client projects I never squeeze in the time to make the reel content I'd love. Need to work on that. Thanks for the inspiration Mark!
Do you think clients would hire just based off a reel or do they generally want to see finished work? I have typically shot for producers so I don't have much for full finished work.
@markbone thank you for the feedback! Jeremy Tan here! Eventho the reel is a tad bit outdated your constructive critique really hits the spot on this reel. Really appreciate your words and thank imma start a petition #nomoremicrojitters :)
keeping it real mate hehe theres some clever folks out there aye always appreciate your views on edits id luv to hear what you think of one of my dodgy creations maby one day aye hope your well man keep the good times coming cheers
Interesting that you so strongly recommend a reel to get work. I say that because I've come across a lot of guys working as dp and or cam op who say they never create reels. They always get hired by word of mouth.
4:21 I disagree. Anyone can shoot wides. Especially with architecture or landscape acting as a framing tool. They are the easiest. But to shoot a good, emotional, well framed and staged shot in close up? No man. Altough I may be biased as I'm looking at it from the director's perspective, but I still strongly disagree.
Don't miss the chance to get your reel reviewed live with myself and professional DP Nik Pilecki: dateful.com/eventlink/2566891127

But whats wrong with being a jack of all trades if you've put the years behind learning each trade. Hate that this stigma has been created.

I love that Mark is so nice that he says he's ripping apart demo reels but it's actually friendly constructive feedback 😅
LOL
becuz most of you guys who video, are terrible lol
@@Videofilealways I will LOL with you. Apparently, this commenter has been abused. A true artist knows how to be critical, helpful, and kind.
"just like you, you already probably skipped through this video"
*looks around*
"damn, he read me like a book"
This is super helpful. I have been wanting to make my reel for a while now and I didn't really even know where to start. Nothing on TH-cam was helping me until this. Thank you!
just make a compilation of our your best shots, than mute the audio and then add music = done
Nothing better than critical feedback!
it certainly is helpful!

everyone can shoot a face on a 50mm up close but can you frame and light a stunning wide shot

Muahhaha!!!! Love this. I want my reel ripped apart!!!! Excited for the call!

See you on the call Bryce!
Very interesting how you judge the reels. Everything makes sense and i learned something from it.

Now I gotta watch this version too, to see how the editor redirected the story.
That was kinda fun....now im up 2 am working on final cut...the work is real...reel?
Wow at 4:59 - Barnaby Riggs reel that you played back as it was so strong... that "woman running across this bridge" is Laura Horvath in there the current fittest woman on Earth from CrossFit... That takes my idea out for one of my documentaries lol
Been binging these videos and I’ve already learned so much. Thank you! 📷🎥
Time to redo my reel lol. Mark you amazing 🙏👑❤️🎬🎥

hey mark, when are you reviewing some demo reels again :) ?
Love this. I know a lot of these tips apply to reels overall, but would love tips for postproduction reels.
you should totally make a series out of this
What's bad about a jack-of-all-trades? That's been my career in a nutshell. If I'm ready to move into more Production Manager positions, can't that be a good thing?
I have strong feelings for you as well, Mark! Thanks for the advice too!
Hi Mark, will you ever do demo reels review again?
Great to see other reels in this way, a good watch. Excited to join the zoom.
Great feedback, definitely noteworthy
Glad you think so!
Very informative, love this video, thanks for making it.
Glad it was helpful!
Start with a wide shot. Thank you Mr Mark Bone
Great value!
Always so busy running full tilt with client projects I never squeeze in the time to make the reel content I'd love. Need to work on that. Thanks for the inspiration Mark!
Mark, do you have any videos on aspect ratios? I don’t seem to find any on your TH-cam channel.
Just now finding this video today! Will you guys be reviewing more reels in the future?
If you’re a part of our course The Cinematic Eye, we will be! Theartofdocumentary.com
When are you going to review reels again? I would like you to review mine and give me helpful feedback.
This was amazing would love to get mine reviewed! Will surely be joining the zoom meeting.
Thanks for taking care of the plants in the office :')
Great to find you guys!! Awesome work and great tips 👌🏼🍻
Do you think clients would hire just based off a reel or do they generally want to see finished work? I have typically shot for producers so I don't have much for full finished work.
cool video & great tips! thx man!👍🏻
This was an amazing video. I have learned so much in 13 minutes. Its ridiculous
could not skip a second. Thank you.
Fantastic advice ... and no wasted words.
If I have to check the time whilst watching your reel it's already too long...
@markbone thank you for the feedback! Jeremy Tan here! Eventho the reel is a tad bit outdated your constructive critique really hits the spot on this reel. Really appreciate your words and thank imma start a petition #nomoremicrojitters :)
Haha! No more jitters. It’s such a solid reel man! Just don’t want the few shots you had in bring down the overall quality
keeping it real mate hehe theres some clever folks out there aye always appreciate your views on edits id luv to hear what you think of one of my dodgy creations maby one day aye hope your well man keep the good times coming cheers
Super insightful feedback! Thank you!
Great stuff!
Can't wait to be a part of this community hopefully soon 🔥🤞🏼
Wonderful advice, as usual!
Glad it was helpful!

I’m learning english and I like edit video so your content help me a lot.
Me too bro!
GREAT reviews!!! Awesome learning experience.
Thanks! Some helpful tipps. Used it in my showreel out on my channel here. ⬅
Kinda curious, how you can decide is this director good or not in telling stories by 1min videos?
for me they all look more like operator reels
super useful video, thanks
I have "reels" shot on cell phone on the fly, can those work?
Great video 💯
Any tips for creating a video editing reel?
Really enjoyed this. Thank you
I dont understand these Reels, where are the CG? where are the breakdowns?
Great feedback! Learned a lot!
So a reel should be 60 seconds?
Just came here by accident, but I have to agree, great review Mark
What's a "clipped shot"?
How to get in contact with you? Toronto here

I like strong opinions in directors.

I didn't skip..☺
I did not skim through this video! 😁
"Showreel" or "Demo Reel" ?? 🙏
I bet my reel is better than most of you guys
(18+ years doing media)
and my website is prob better than most as well lol
Your humility is breathtaking
Very valuable ❤
Timely, Mark . . . thank you!
