Hey guys, I just finished a new cinematography reel and would love some feedback. I tried to go in a different direction than my last one and am curious about what you may think. Thanks in advance for your help and please be as harsh as possible!

Watched with no sound on my phone but I thought the lighting and cinematography was phenomenal. Not a reel you'd normally see on here.
 
I have never liked a cinematography reel nearly this much... This was amazing.

I think a better closing shot would make it more fluid, but there was not a single shot i did not like. excelent job.

wow. that was amazing.
 
That was tight, inside computer shot was dope and made me wish I had thought of it, haha. Ending felt a tiny bit abrupt but overall so good!
 
Very impressive. I've watched your past reel a countless number of times and it appeals to me a little more than this one, partly because of the action and song choice. I loved the shot of the two bears in this one. Cheers!
 
Hey Guys, Thank you for all the responses and kind words! They mean a lot!

I'm glad to see the "inside-the-computer" shot is getting good feedback and people like it. At first I was a little skeptical about it. And I also agree about the last shot but I couldn't really find one I was super happy about. Especially with the winter scenes at the end.

Really good man! Out of curiosity, where do you live!?

Thanks man! I'm from Montana and currently live in Bozeman. But I also lived in Seattle for a little while.

Some great shots in here. What did you shoot the reel with?

All of this was shot with an FS700 and Canon and Rokinon lenses
 
Nice job!

Some really great shots in there. Nice sound design as well. I definitely felt a sense of personality from the footage and the subjects.

One thing I wish there was though, is a wider variety of work. It felt like there were only a couple different projects in there.

Another nice thing is that it didn't look like FS700 footage, nice job on that.
