A while ago I sent a rambling speculative email to the head of a department at my dream company, a production company based in soho but with offices all over the world. I would kill to work for them. I received an out of office autoreply at the time saying the person in question would be back this week.
Today I recieved an email from them asking for a showreel.
Many shades of awesome. However, I have never been asked for a showreel before and the kind of work I do isn't really show-reel conducive. I.e. I do news producing/reporting, they do commercial and music video.
Are they looking for something visual? Or are they actually going to sit and listen to a selection of five minute reports>? Or do I give selected excerpts from the reports?
Do I include stuff from other projects other the years that were more relevant, even though it would only be..a shot here, a shot there?
