Considerations for DP Reel
Max run time: 2 minutes.
I’d like the reel to show how my visual aesthetic (framing, composition) translates to motion.
A few differences from my photo work:
The majority of my photos are wide shots – for the reel, I’m totally down with adding mediums and macros to keep the pace/vibe going and to add interest when necessary.
People don’t need to look as somber as in my photos (they can, but def not requirement).
I’d like to try to show some racial, gender, economic diversity when possible.
Music/sound can be anything. I don’t envision any sound bites being included.
For the first time in a decade I’m not trying to sell a client on a heartfelt or emotional or informative or inspirational story! I’d be happy if some weirdness or tension or humor came through.

In general, if it seems like any city/landscape shots need to be used, I don't hate the NYC shots but also don't think they're special on their own
