Hey mate! With your showreel, the edit fits the music well but, and this is totally personal preference, I'd say some of the shots are too quick for me to get a real grasp on them. Otherwise I enjoyed it! I agree the music is so difficult to find! I've had tracks I like in a saved playlist and go back to them a month later and don't like them any more haha. Either way great work!
I like the reel, btw! Only thing I'd change is that flash of interview shots. It says to me "I interview people a lot" but it doesn't tell me how those shots looked because I can't see them fast enough.
I make one every 5 years no regrets. Less important than how often I'd say is if your niche changes then it's time to update your reel. Definitely reuse elements that worked the first time. It's not stand-up comedy, the material doesn't inherently become used up. My biggest suggestion is don't label the video with a year that it encompasses. No need to date yourself if you get swamped and don't update it for 5 years like my company did.

Thanks for that! I can understand that for sure, I will take that onboard for the next one.
Thanks heaps!

I can feel that for sure, it’s a quick burst of shots. I’m really loving the suggestions, going to help me in the new cut! Thanks heaps!!

That’s sound advice on not dating it! 5 years with the same reel is amazing value!
