I've recently modified and tweaked my latest showreel but I would be very grateful for people's opinions on it as I'm in the process of applying for agencies and want to make sure I'm representing myself well.

I'm very open to anything as any feedback is great!
It's looking strong, I think you've got the order of it right. I would say that you need to edit 'The Puglist' to up the volume on it as it noticeably drops off when it gets to that clip then picks back up again. Also I noticed on your profile you're listed as being 3 foot 6, but that didn't seem right in the clips? So if it's a typo you will want to change that to get the correct work of course.
Aside from that it's looking good. Maybe see you on a shoot sometime!
You've got some really great content!! Shows you off really well. My only thought is that it's just a bit long- showreels only need to be 2 minutes long as CDs and Agents won't watch any more than that usually. Perhaps you could cut some of the scenes, as you may not need to show the whole thing. Good Luck!
Hey Gemma,
Looks really good. The first clip especially is great and really shows you off.
My only criticism would be the sound on 'Pugilist' as David has mentioned. One of the key things in a showreel is that every clip should be of the same quality, otherwise it is noticeable and overshadows the high quality of all the rest of the clips and this is the only thing that is remembered from your piece!
Also I would say the last police clip looks a little dated. I would question if it is needed, although it is a good clip, for me it didn't add anything to the showreel and the first police clip where you are talking is a lot stronger and looks a better quality and a lot more modern. If you need to shave time from your reel my advice would be here. Sometimes more is less, having 3 really strong clips rather than trying to cram 6 into one reel is a wiser choice and is often enough for an agent/CD/client etc. As Stephanie has mentioned showreels are usually only 2 mins.
Besides those minor points I think it's good. Hope that helps!
Good luck
