Hey folks- thanks to the generous feedback and comments from a lot of folks in this forum I've whipped my web site into shape- now I've gotten my demo completed and I'd love to hear your feedback on it.

60 second reel is the first item on this page:

Ok so you have a 60 and a 90. Why? And it's not like they are dramatically different. DO NOT repeat material. Let me repeat that-- Do not repeat material.

Then it's not just a 60 and a 90, you then run it a third time as a "Commercial Demo". Now you appear deaerate.

Stick with the 30: and call it a day. And I'm not liking the cutesy legal tag on the end. Offer a real tag or non at all. And you were a second over on the 60.

Acoustics are counter-intuitive. If one thing is certain about acoustics, it is that if anything seems obvious it is probably wrong.

Thanks for the feedback, Mike. It's funny how wanting to make things easy can be taken in ways we didn't intend.

I've removed the 90 second version and added language to clarify that the first spot is simply the same one as on the right, and that the pieces below are mostly the complete versions of the ones on the reel. I'll see about shaving the extra second off the 60 second one.

The trick: don't repeat material. Every bit of content must be different, and should be good. If you have something that you want to add that is not apart of a demo, do so as "Commercial Bonus Material" etc..
