Reel 07

After what seems like months of work I give you my show reel for 2007. It’s a collection of many, many projects both new and old. The emphasis is on editing and my motion graphics work and I am very happy with how it turned out. I’ve gotten a lot of feedback on it and there are a few small changes that will be made in the coming week, but this is pretty much the finished product.

My reel is also filed under Resume in the Kinetic section of my site, there you will find a download link and an embed code.

Last Thursday Collins had a little event for students to show their work, and while at first I wasn’t sure that I wanted to go, I am so glad that I did. Not only did I get a few job opportunities, I got a ton of feedback on my reel, my resume and how to present myself. I feel I do well in interviews, but there are a lot of things to know about showing your work to people. My resume will also undergo some changes this week thanks to what was said about it on Thursday. After writing my e-mail and website on the bottom of four or five resumes it occurred to me that there is no reason that shouldn’t have been on there in the first place. I’m also in need of a more focused list of skills and a list of software and hardware I’ve used. People would look at my resume and ask me about my TV experience, not my production skills… and I really don’t think I’ll be looking for another TV job any time soon.

As a matter of fact the more I think about it, the more I think I am done with TV. A job doing actual production is my next challenge.

I’m still trying to work out a quick trip to Boise at the beginning of November. Bender will be home and I want to see the kid before he gets stationed. He is writing on his site again, and I am interested to hear more about his experience in basic training.
