Hi all,

Well, I set a goal to make my demo reel before the end of 2016, and after a 60-hour marathon edit (yes, I LITERALLY edited for 60 hours WITHOUT SLEEP. Never done that before, I don't plan on doing that again), I am happy to post the demo reel for your consumption.  I also composed and performed every note and drum beat of the music in the video.  

I wish I lived in an area that has as many dramatic locations as I have seen in many of your demo reels.  I need to start exploring to find cool new locations.

Please take a look, and since this is my first demo reel, I am open to hear your thoughts.  This reel will be a "living document" and will be updated every time I find a better location.  So your input will help.  That said, if you just love it, no critique's necessary :-)

And finally, YES, I know that a 6 minute demo reel is probably too long.  But I am keeping this one long and working on a shorter edit, about three minutes.

Anyway, Happy New Year, and I look forward to hearing your feedback.
Matt

Nice work, thanks for posting.

It's especially useful, I think, for those of us still new to aerial cinematography to see it done well.

Thanks gvgeorge,  I was starting to wonder if my video stunk since a bunch of people took a look and no-one commented.  

I have only owned my drone for five months, this is my first demo reel.  So thanks again for saying it was done well.  This is still all very new to me.

Take care,
matt

Very Nice!

Nice work. Thanks for sharing.

Enjoyed watching that,Nice work

Very nice! Nice flying, clean edit, and great job on the music! Thanks for sharing.

Very Impressive!  I am brand new to drone photography and I aspire to be able to take shots like that.

Nice!Good Job!

For what it is worth, I've updated the video quite a bit since I originally posted it here.  Music improvements, many scene changes, a lot of subtle editing revisions.  The link is the same (at the top of this thread).

Awesome shots and editing.

Impressive. Great job with the video!
