If you are a speaker, trainer or actor and need your demo reel edited — because you want to get hired for more work? – Read on.
The vast majority trying to book jobs don't "get it." And that's why they're not booking jobs. They're still under the assumption that all you need is a good looking headshot and a résumé (never mind the fact that everybody knows people tend to stretch the truth on their acting résumés just a bit...)
The fact of the matter is this: multimedia is here to stay. And it's never been easier to use. You can cut together your demo reel, post it on the web, and email it - so that casting directors and agents can be looking at your footage in mere moments. With just about everybody (my grandmother included) utilizing fast internet connections, demo reels via the internet are fast - and as important as headshots.
"Not having [a current demo reel] absolutely decreases an actor's chances of getting hired. It looks like you've never worked in film or television. And what better way to see how an actor looks on film than to see their reel?" - Casting director
A huge number of speakers, trainers, and actors don't even have a demo reel. And many of the actors that do have demo reels use footage from back in the day when Dallas, the Love Boat, and Knight Rider were on prime time.
A bad video editor can ruin your demo and hurt your chance of getting work.
My job is to sit with you and spend some time with all of your footage, crafting it into a short piece of video that shows that you're castable. That's it. And that's my focus with my clients.
It's time for us to start marketing you in a way that will get you hired for more speaking, training, and acting jobs.
We are Atlanta Business Video and we specialize in creating marketing materials for professional public speakers, trainers and actors that get them hired. This means that if you edit with us, you'll not only get technical excellence in your video, but you'll be collaborating with somebody that understands the craft and speaks in the "language" of what you do.
If you're not getting paid to speak or act, then it might be time to get a professional demo reel.
There are some really cheap demo reel editors out there. Like a hundred bucks cheap. Are you willing to risk your career to somebody that doesn't really do this for a living? And think about this: how fast would you run away from somebody that offered you an entire headshot package, with your sitting, makeup, and printing included, for less than a hundred bucks?
You might as well get your headshots done at Sears. For me (and you), this is serious business. We can get you booking jobs ... or you can go to one of those kids that cut together actor's reels in his mom's garage while he's paying off his film school debt - and wind up with a lousy reel that doesn't get you hired.
Our editing is beyond fast. We can get your reel done in a day and your copies will be done the next morning in most cases. There are editors in town that will take a week or two to do your reel. I am not one of them.
My clients know that I'm worth it. Why? Because the reels I produce for my clients get them hired. And when you get hired for a job that pays you the bucks, you'll realize that investing in your demo reel was the smartest money you could have ever spent.
And if you're not happy, you don't pay. I'm serious.
I'll make it really easy on you. I'm the only guy in town that offers his clients this: a no-holds-barred, 100% satisfaction guarantee. If, for any reason, you're not satisfied with your reel when we've finished producing it, then you don't spend a dime. No B.S., no weasel clause, nothing. If you're not happy, then when we're done editing, you can walk away without having spent one penny. Do you want to get acting jobs, or do you want to be like everybody else?)

To answer one other question: Yes, we can edit your reel for you if you don't live in Atlanta. We can make arrangements for you to ship your materials to me, and we'll be in contact over the phone and via email until the job is completed. I will email you links to your video files for your approval, and the reel won't be finished until you say that it is.
