I've been fiddling around with the videos, reading up on what goes into a commercial reel. One of the things I saw was that some people open with a montage. This is way too long for an opening. At 43 seconds it's probably half or a third the length of what the whole thing should be.
Anyway, I have no intention of doing this myself. I'm not good enough, technically, nor objective enough to pick the good from the bad nor even knowledgeable enough to know what should really go on here. But if I do do this, then I have at least made the job easier for the producer by gathering together five or six minute of usable clips in one place and one format.
But I don't even know if I'm going to make a reel. I'm not sure I need it. The casting people here know me and my agents haven't made an issue of it. So I think I'll only do it when I find some extra money lying around. Besides, my agents do want me to get a comp card, so that's probably the next investment.

this looks pretty cool to me. But then again, I know nothing about acting reels.
I did actually have a comp card at one point, though. Lot of good that did me.
