Fuck , okay thank you . <| sep |> I know . I don ' t think they ' re showing less than last year at least . <| sep |> The network gigs you ' re trying to get . , are these for promo type stuff ? If so then don ' t worry about the fast cut whiz bang reel . those are incredibly deceiving and don ' t give anyone what sort of editor you actually are . Collect some of your best short promos and parts of EPKs that are solid and have that be your reel . I edit for a group of networks and we always want to see a couple of completed pieces . That gives us a sense of how you handle writing , music , sfx , pacing . something you don ' t get from a compilation type reel . All a fast reel is tell folks how good you are at making a reel . not spots . The car cool reels make sense for cinematographers , animators and a couple other positions but not for promo editors .
