Re: I thought this community was helpful I have gotten no help!

Maybe if you take into account that we're under a week away form the industry's largest professional tradeshow and everyone is either cramming to get work done before they leave, or preparing something for the show itself...

On the reel, I'd say all of the stuff that looks flat daylight needs to go...the guy in front of the brick building has no ratio...the stocky guy in the black T shirt in the wrecked building...several of the daylight, flat, sunlit shots can all go.

You want shots that have light AND shadow...it's what communicates depth and shape. Watch some suspense/horror films and see what the most artful, compelling shots are...often backlit...lighting is very directional...very little fill.

This isn't an editing reel as it's all discontinuous material...no sequences of shots, no obvious post work in effects or color correction.

Quick takes...I'm one that is trying to prepare for the show too and that's all I have time for...
