I had an interview for an internship earlier in the week, and while it turned out not to be what I was looking for, it did finally motivate me to put
something together for a demo reel. Ideally, the purpose of having an internship would be to build a more impressive demo reel, but for now I slapped together a basic DVD menu with links to a film trailer made in Premiere Pro, an animated DVD menu created in AfterEffects, and a short film made using Final Cut Pro. If nothing else, the works show that I have basic competency in video editing, but putting it together really affirmed by belief that the works I have aren't going to be very impressive to a prospective employer.
Previously, I've always created projects where the focal point wasn't in how it was edited, so my new goal is to find a way to take existing footage and edit it in a more impressive way. Still trying to figure out how to go about doing that.
