In recent years I have made a habit of uploading a new ‘showreel of my showreels’ every few months. The point being, I wanted to prove my consistency in creating fresh and relevant scenes for every showreel I create.
I still believe in doing that – but it means that often some really good work I’ve done previously gets swept away amongst all the new examples.
In future, I will continue to push on with new work and, in fact, this very ‘best of’ compilation features many brand new scenes. But it also features some older work. This collection contains some of the best showreel scenes I’ve created.
What does ‘best’ mean? Well it definitely has nothing to do with how well I framed the images or how steady the camera was. In fact, my favourite scene of the whole bunch has very erratic camera movement, dips in and out of focus, but the acting is great and it’s helped the client get a bunch of work, so who am I or anyone to judge it?
I picked the scenes based on how much I like them. And by that I mean, how much I liked the acting. There are some terrific actors on show here. Some who were already TV regulars and some who have gone on to find their way. Others are still plugging away in short films but their time is coming.
