OMG! Great nuts and bolts advise, Dan. You earn my respect and trust every damn time you make one of these informative videos. Making your own content is something I should have heard by now from the industry but they have failed me. Thank you for sharing.

[Tamara]

Thanks, I was wondering, and you answered 😮

[Filmmantake]

Three ten second scences. I'm on it. Thanks Dan for the great advice!

[croberts]

Wow Dan…Thank you once again for such great advice! Take care

[bjwieland-doucet]

AWESOME advice. A couple of my things are "speed reel" clips.
Like you, some of my best work was on the cutting room floor. 😒
Will be looking up the service you mentioned for getting a few bits I haven't been able to retrieve.
Thanks Dan! 👍👏

[allisonpleggeofficial]

I’m being flown out to NYC to film a pilot on location. Can I use clips from a reality show for a reel to submit for an agent or film/other tv opportunities?
