Hi Jeff,
Okay, I see your stance. I guess it depends on how you look at it...I would think that if a potential client is interested in some sort of video production, they'll either want to have a quick peek at your general work (which is what demo reels are good for), or they'll want to see specific previous examples, so that they can make a comparison of what their video could look like if they decide to work with you.
