Picture time DVD spends much time encoding demo reels for its clients. Demo reels promote artists and corporations. They show off someone's knowledge, skills and abilities in just a few moments. There can not be enough said about having a good demo reel. Since Picture time DVD has seen hundreds of demo reels, we can help give you pointers on what to do and what not to do.

First suggestion: Don't throw in too much content - Keep them short, its a commercial. Keep their attention before they hit the eject button. Think of Hollywood trailers. Concentrate on excellent intro graphics, utilizing your strengths in AfterEffects or whatever you are proficient in. Follow up with a strong attention to a central theme.

If you are multi talented, then categorize your strengths into individual themes that will be broken up into chapter points off the menu. But let the viewer get a taste of how good you are based off the short segment idea in case they only view one section. People decide within 3 seconds if they are going to enjoy your work, so start out strong.

Next, export your Demo Reel onto the highest quality medium you can afford. Factor in off our rates page the total costs before pulling the trigger. Beta SP will keep the best colors and will enable us to use our best equipment - equipment that we use to make feature length movies. We will price out projects aggressively to enable you to maximize your biggest bang for the buck. Sometimes it is just more efficient to wait and save up for a small replication job than to obtain 20 copies of a Reel on DVD.

You may indeed have Avid, Betacams, artists and basic DVD authoring equipment. But if you have not produced 139 full length movies before, and established vendor relations adequately, it is entirely possible that you could end up paying 4 to 12 times the cost that Picture time DVD will charge you.

At Picture time DVD, our goal is to make you stand out, not blend into the crowd.
