Two-Minute Dramatic Acting Reel

I’ve got several long scene recordings and I need them distilled into one seamless reel that runs no more than two minutes. Dramatic moments should lead the narrative, but the overall cut has to carry a balanced mix of emotions so casting directors see range, nuance, and authenticity in quick succession.

I don’t have timestamps or selects marked; I’m counting on your eye to find the strongest expressions, line deliveries, and transitions. Please keep pacing tight, vary shot choices to avoid repetition, and make sure the final flow feels purposeful rather than a mere montage.

Because this is a professional acting reel, prior experience creating reels is essential—you already know how to trim dialogue, match color and audio levels, and add subtle lower-thirds or slate information without distracting from the performance. Preferred tools are Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve; use whichever you’re fastest with.

From my side you’ll receive:
• Raw video files for each scene (1080p or higher, most in .mp4)
• My name and contact slate details for the intro/outro card

Final deliverables I expect:
• A polished 2-minute reel in 1080p H.264 (.mp4) ready for industry submissions
• One alternate export optimized for social media (optional if time permits)
• Project file or edit decision list, so revisions are straightforward if needed

Let me know your typical turnaround time and any additional assets you might require before starting. I’m ready to share the footage as soon as we agree on the workflow.
