Actor Showreels - £100

 

As a professional actor, I appreciate the value of an actors' Showreel - A DVD with some of your career highlights, Great to send to casting people and recommended by the Spotlight Casting Directory.

I have the experience of video editing and the equipment to take your source material from DVD, VHS, etc, and produce a bespoke Showreel DVD. I can also edit the material for use on your Spotlight Profile (note: you have to have a Spotlight account and pay a fee for the uploading to their web site).

You can also upload the video to online hosts like YouTube to feature on your own web site. Examples are on the right.

Showreel DVD production from your source material (VHS, DVD), conversion to digital video, editing, effects & titles = £100. This includes the following:

  • DVD will have full menus and can have separate 'scene' menus to link to individual clips.
  • DVD will have a printed label featuring your photo (your headshot or image pulled from showreel clips) and, if you want to have the familiar DVD plastic library case, artwork for the sleeve. (I normally put the DVD with printed label in a clear plastic DVD wallet, easy to post and the info shows through wallet and not too fiddly for the viewer.)
  • I will send a DVD of edited showreel for your final approval and update as you require.
  • 5 finished DVD's included in price, additional DVD's £2 each, £3 if in a DVD library case.
  • Finished DVD is yours. If you wish to make your own copies, you are welcome to do so.
  • Future updates to the showreel (adding new film/tv work, etc) £20 per update.


I can use stock music for DVD menus, but can use something you choose or provide if you prefer.


All I need is your source material, VHS (cued to the clip you want or good notes about time/length of scene) or DVD (with approx time in to your clips), any photos or music you want to use, etc

If you know upcoming dates you will be on the telly, let me know and I can record straight to digital format and edit straight away, either to add to a showreel or just produce a DVD/video clip of that TV appearance.

I can also prepare the showreel for submission to Spotlight. The Spotlight requirements as as follows, copied from their web site - http://www.spotlightcd.com/artists/multimedia/showreel.html

If you would like to film specific scenes for your showreel or to send as an audition piece this can be arranged, contact me for pricing.

I can also prepare Voice CD's from your own material (cassettes or CD's). Again, contact me for pricing.

Note: I am not in any way associated with Spotlight, but I am a member and would recommend it.

Wonder what to put on your showreel?

I can make suggestions from the material your provide, but it's worth chatting with your agent and asking what is your best work to 'sell' you as an actor.
