What Goes Into a Portfolio twitter.com/ rhedpixel
![Page 50: You're Hired! How to Not Screw Up a Job Interview](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/587a88801a28ab58288b5245/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Why a Portfolio?
๏ If you want a job, you need a portfolio.
๏ Sure a good-looking résumé with excellent credentials and references will seal the deal, but employers or clients want proof.
๏ No one is going to hire a creative professional solely on word of mouth (but that helps).
![Page 51: You're Hired! How to Not Screw Up a Job Interview](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/587a88801a28ab58288b5245/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
The Essential Portfolio
๏ A good portfolio is a personal statement about a designer, editor, or artist.
๏ There are no one-size fits all approach that will work for each individual.
๏ The best advice is to look at other people’s portfolios.
![Page 52: You're Hired! How to Not Screw Up a Job Interview](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/587a88801a28ab58288b5245/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
The Essential Portfolio
๏ There is a wealth of online portfolios you can find on the Internet.
๏ The key is to start looking well before you need a portfolio so you can create one you like.
![Page 53: You're Hired! How to Not Screw Up a Job Interview](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/587a88801a28ab58288b5245/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Why Use the Web?
๏ Can showcase both work samples and contact information.
๏ This method is ideal for those who create in multiple mediums.
๏ Many services will adapt automatically based on platform or hardware used to access your portfolio.
![Page 54: You're Hired! How to Not Screw Up a Job Interview](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/587a88801a28ab58288b5245/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Contents of a Portfolio? twitter.com/ rhedpixel
![Page 55: You're Hired! How to Not Screw Up a Job Interview](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/587a88801a28ab58288b5245/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
What is a Portfolio?
๏ A collection of your work samples to show prospective employers or clients.
๏ It should represent your diversity, but not try to show everything.
๏ Be sure to consider all of the scenarios in which you’ll need to present your work to those who want to hire you.
![Page 56: You're Hired! How to Not Screw Up a Job Interview](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/587a88801a28ab58288b5245/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
What Goes in a Portfolio?
๏ Show your diversity with your portfolio.
๏ Even if you only work on certain types of projects at your current job, be sure you have variety.
๏ For example, you might work for a manufacturing company, but don’t only fill it with work samples from your current job.
![Page 57: You're Hired! How to Not Screw Up a Job Interview](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/587a88801a28ab58288b5245/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
What Goes in a Portfolio?
๏ You want several samples of work, ideally done for real-world clients.
๏ You may think that’s impossible to land ‘real’ clients, but it is not.
๏ Offer to do internship or externship work, in exchange for copies of the completed piece and a letter of recommendation for your portfolio.
![Page 58: You're Hired! How to Not Screw Up a Job Interview](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/587a88801a28ab58288b5245/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
What Stays Out?
๏ There is such a thing as “too much.”
๏ It is important to screen out the less then stellar examples from your portfolio.
๏ This can be accomplished through peer review or professional insight.
๏ Ask a friend or colleague to look at your work samples.
![Page 59: You're Hired! How to Not Screw Up a Job Interview](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/587a88801a28ab58288b5245/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
What Stays Out?
๏ It’s a bad idea to fill a portfolio with spec projects.
๏ Unless you happen to work for a particular agency, no one wants to see your ‘spec’ Apple ad.
๏ It is far better to have projects where you played a significant role in the execution.

How Often Should You Update a Portfolio?
๏ No job or client is 100% secure.
๏ You always need to be ready for that next interview or proposal.
๏ Be sure to update your portfolio a minimum of every 6 months.
๏ Certain mediums (like a website) are even easier to update regularly.
![Page 62: You're Hired! How to Not Screw Up a Job Interview](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/587a88801a28ab58288b5245/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
How Often Should You Update a Portfolio?
๏ Always save copies of your latest work. Archiving all of your work to disc.
๏ Some jobs require you to get permission before keeping work samples.
๏ Be sure to credit the company that you did the work for.

Why you need a great demo reel
๏ You need a great demo reel to show clients what you can do.
๏ Demo reels are your primary sales tool for landing good work that pays well.
๏ The best demo reels not only show what you can do but also WHO you are.
๏ By displaying a bit of your personality, demo reels convey to your audience why you are the person they want to hire and work with on important projects.
![Page 65: You're Hired! How to Not Screw Up a Job Interview](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/587a88801a28ab58288b5245/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Are ready for a demo reel?
๏ Is the work you’re showing the result of your creative efforts or those of a lesson in class or an online tutorial?
๏ Assets and tutorial content from learning sites like Lynda.com or Video Copilot are easily recognized by professionals in the industry.
![Page 66: You're Hired! How to Not Screw Up a Job Interview](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/587a88801a28ab58288b5245/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Are ready for a demo reel?
๏ Are you proud of the work you’ve done?
๏ Every clip and every frame that you include in your demo reel must present your very best work.
๏ Do you have enough different, short clips to last 60 seconds?
![Page 67: You're Hired! How to Not Screw Up a Job Interview](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/587a88801a28ab58288b5245/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Are ready for a demo reel?
๏ If you answered "yes" to all of these questions, then you’re ready to build your reel.
๏ If not, don’t worry. Take the time to build a body of work that you’d be proud to show to strangers — not just your friends and family.
๏ Many pros will tell you that it’s better to not have a demo reel than to present an amateurish one.

Keep it Short
๏ A successful demo reel does not show all your work but rather highlights your best work.
๏ Most employers agree that one to two minutes is enough for them to determine whether your reel is what they’re looking for.
๏ Indeed, many professional editors feel that 90 seconds is the sweet spot for a great demo reel.
![Page 71: You're Hired! How to Not Screw Up a Job Interview](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/587a88801a28ab58288b5245/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Keep it Short
๏ Rarely have I heard an audience complain that a video was too short.
๏ There is a reason to edit and it becomes increasingly clear when you actually watch people as they watch your reel.
๏ Do your best to strip a reel down to its essence and only add what is needed.
๏ When in doubt… cut it out.
![Page 72: You're Hired! How to Not Screw Up a Job Interview](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/587a88801a28ab58288b5245/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Keep it Short
๏ Grab the viewer’s attention from the start.
๏ Sometimes a first impression is all you get with potential clients or employers.
๏ Because of the number of submissions they review, you may have their full attention only for the first 20 seconds.
![Page 73: You're Hired! How to Not Screw Up a Job Interview](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/587a88801a28ab58288b5245/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)

Keep it Short
๏ Show your most recent work first.
๏ No one wants to see what you worked on five years ago. Show them what you’re working on now.
๏ Include only your best current work.
๏ Replace clips that show an older style or are not as strong as your later efforts.
๏ Include only those clips that showcase a modern style and make a strong, professional impression.
![Page 76: You're Hired! How to Not Screw Up a Job Interview](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/587a88801a28ab58288b5245/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Keep it Short
๏ Express your personality.
๏ Whether you are serious or a joking, laid back or hyperactive, let it show through in your reel.
๏ You may have just the personality the client or employer is looking for.
![Page 77: You're Hired! How to Not Screw Up a Job Interview](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/587a88801a28ab58288b5245/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)

Show Some Emotion
๏ Let people see what you’re passionate about.
๏ Add a musical soundtrack.
๏ Pick music that complements your professional, or personal, brand and then cut your reel to that beat.
๏ Show a variety of work. The more the merrier — and the better chance you’ll have of showing something that interests others.
![Page 80: You're Hired! How to Not Screw Up a Job Interview](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/587a88801a28ab58288b5245/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Show Some Emotion
๏ Focus your reel on the type of work you’d most like to be doing.
๏ If you’re really excited about editing music videos, cut a reel that focuses primarily on that type of editing.
๏ If you don’t have much content of that type, then go out and create it!

Structuring Your Reel
๏ Open with your name or company logo.
๏ Let people know who you are up front.
๏ A cool intro with your name or company logo is a great way to grab the viewer’s attention.
![Page 83: You're Hired! How to Not Screw Up a Job Interview](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/587a88801a28ab58288b5245/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Structuring Your Reel
๏ Highlight work you’ve done for recognizable brands.
๏ If relevant, give a little extra screen time to logos that people will recognize.
๏ The more people who recognize the companies you’ve done work for, the better.
๏ Give on-screen credits
![Page 84: You're Hired! How to Not Screw Up a Job Interview](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/587a88801a28ab58288b5245/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)

Structuring Your Reel
๏ Show "before" and "after" clips. This is especially true if you are a colorist, audio engineer, or similar specialist.
๏ Show sequence shots.
๏ This is particularly important if you build visuals in stages, like 3D modelers or compositors do.
![Page 86: You're Hired! How to Not Screw Up a Job Interview](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/587a88801a28ab58288b5245/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)

Structuring Your Reel
๏ Close with your contact information.
๏ This is your call to action.
๏ Include your full name, phone number, website, and professional e-mail address.
๏ Your reel is worthless if people don’t know how to contact you.

Demo Reel Mistakes twitter.com/ rhedpixel
![Page 89: You're Hired! How to Not Screw Up a Job Interview](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/587a88801a28ab58288b5245/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Demo Reel Mistakes
๏ Mistakes will happen, but you only get one chance to make a first impression.
๏ Take time to review (& re-review) your reel so that errors don’t slip in; they will be noticed.
![Page 90: You're Hired! How to Not Screw Up a Job Interview](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/587a88801a28ab58288b5245/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Demo Reel Mistakes
๏ Don’t take credit for work you didn’t do.
๏ Clearly label any clips in your reel for which you only did part of the work.
๏ Adding a text overlay to the clip that simply says "Premiere Pro editor," "3D modeler," or "responsible for motion tracking" goes a long way toward clearing up any confusion and speaks volumes of your character.
![Page 91: You're Hired! How to Not Screw Up a Job Interview](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033108/587a88801a28ab58288b5245/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Demo Reel Mistakes
๏ Don’t repeat any footage.
๏ It gives the impression that you haven’t done enough work to fill a reel.
๏ Make your demo shorter instead.
๏ Don’t include errors!
๏ You would be amazed at how many demo reels contain spelling errors, audio glitches, clips with squeezed-looking aspect ratios, and so on.
