@7:28 A lot of people say they don’t listen to the music when looking for technical capabilities in a reel.

–I think Chad makes a great point here, but I think timing your work to flow with the tempo of music can actually improve the overall flow in the absence of music as well. From the other perspective (volume up): watching a reel that doesn’t seem to interact with the audio portion can be very disappointing, even if the work is good.

I guess what I’m saying is there are _only_ advantages to using the beat of an audio track to draw in your viewer.

Good shout Bobby, there’s plenty of people not getting jobs out there because they’ve been told by friends/tutors their stuff’s amazing…
Also, I hadn’t thought about it until this thread but some evaluation from a designer on the more successful pieces on these reels would actually be extremely useful. But apart from that, at the start you said you were going to be honest about the reels, so anything less than that would be teaching people to be inadequate.
