Summary: The infamous demo reel. Whether you are an actor, actress or filmmaker there seems to be no avoiding it. For everyone it is the living biography or resume, if you will, of all the work you have done throughout your career. Some, of course, are stronger than others but even those demo reels that are not full of amazing content can turn heads if they are assembled correctly and presented in such a way as to wow the people about to view it. There is still a chance for you if you don't have a strong demo reel. You just have to be a bit more creative with it all.

As a professional himself, our expert will walk you through all the steps you should think about when you are creating your professional demo reel from what to look for in an editor to what you should include to how much the reel should typically cost you. Yes, there will most definitely be a cost assigned to any quality product you get in the entertainment industry. There is a lot of speculation as to how much you should pay before you are being ripped off and you'll get a good straight answer in these video clips. So have a seat and soak it all in!

About the Expert

Expert: Originally from Buffalo, NY, Craig got involved in television at the early age of 7 as an actor for McDonald’s. From that point on, he became very interested about what happens in front of and behind the camera. Shooting movie shorts with his Fisher Price PXL 2000 (now a hot item for artsy projects), Craig would shoot as often as possible to better his skills. When he entered high school he founded the “Video Production Department,” producing the morning daily announcements in a flashy, eye catching news style show.
While in high school, Craig founded his first major company, Absolute Sound and Video, providing live event planning, production, entertainment, and video services. Working to grow his company, he continued performing in front of the camera and attended college to officially learn Audio and Video production. In college, he became program director of the radio station there and produced and hosted shows for public access TV. One of his college projects received statewide attention.
