Demo Reel — Editing
Learning Objective
Edit your demo reel (2–2.5 minutes). Begin with your strongest work.
This Week
This week, you will edit your demo reel. It should be no longer than 2.5 minutes. Begin with your strongest work — the first 30 seconds are the most important, as many viewers will decide whether to continue watching within the first few seconds. Every cut in the reel should be a demonstration of your skill.
Daily Practice
Work on your demo reel, focusing on the pacing and the flow. The reel should feel like a complete, self-contained piece of work. (45–60 min)
Weekly Challenge
Edit your demo reel (2–2.5 minutes). Begin with your strongest work. Every cut should demonstrate your skill.
