Your demo reel is your business card in the film industry. As an actress myself, I know how essential it is when reaching out to professionals. This is where you showcase your presence, your acting, what you can do, and what makes you unique. My job is to help you put it together and refine it so that it truly represents yourself.
To make it effective, I make sure your demo reel:
✔️ Stays true to your casting type
✔️ Highlights other roles where you shine
✔️ Isn't too long
✔️ Features high-quality clips that capture your authenticity
On the technical side, I take care of everything. 📦 For the best quality, you can send me your original files via Swisstransfer, but I can also retrieve your videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, or even from the title of a film or series you’ve appeared in. In short, I handle the technical part—you just tell me what you want to see!
How does it work?
Over the phone, you tell me if you have specific ideas and what you want to highlight based on your footage and the roles you're aiming for.
We'll also discuss the format of your reel: length, pacing, with or without a final clip, music or not, closing banner, and the info you want to include.
Then, I’ll put together a first draft based on what feels most relevant, impactful, and aligned with your vision.
You get three rounds of revisions after my first edit, where we can tweak, discuss, and refine it together until it’s 100% right for you. ✨
Once you're happy with the final version, I’ll send you the video file along with thumbnails so you can publish it on your socials in top quality.
My goal is to make the process smooth and efficient for you while elevating your work. 🎥 So, ready to collaborate and create a demo reel that truly represents you? Let’s talk!
The Demo Reels I've Edited:
Uploaded on a personalized page
In addition to editing, I offer to host your demo for free on a personalized site, bandedemo.org, with a URL in your name, for example:
bandedemo.org/GabrielleGay2024
This will save you from sending large files via WeTransfer if you don’t have a YouTube or Vimeo channel. Having your own player will also relieve the pressure of creating a "ghost" channel with no subscribers just to host your demo.
This player is optimized for demo reels and doesn’t encourage (unlike YouTube or others) viewers to navigate away to other videos and forget yours!
Unlike YouTube, there are no automatic copyright restrictions here (whether for film images or music). These restrictions can lead to ads on your demo or even block it.
On this personal site, I can:
- Chapter your demo so that professionals can easily navigate between clips.
- Add clickable buttons that link to your social media, agency site, email, or website.
- Include a download option for your demo so that professionals can save it in their files if needed.
Technical points I focus on:
✅ Titles and information. Discreetly and elegantly, I place titles to highlight the works and directors you’ve collaborated with.
✅ Smooth transitions. I pay special attention to the flow of the clips. I love when the excerpts blend seamlessly and organically.
✅ Consistent sound levels. I ensure that each excerpt matches in volume, as the voices may not always be mixed at the same level across different films.
✅ Adjusted volume. I make sure the volume is suitable for all devices: mobile, tablet, computer, etc. I mix the sound to be loud enough to be clear and pleasant on all platforms.
✅ Corrections and restorations if necessary. I take the liberty to fix what can be salvaged when the sound quality is poor: distortion, too much reverb, etc. Similarly, if the image stands out too much from the rest, I can make slight adjustments if needed.
