Formats

The website is going to be the most effective portfolio for my industry.  It will be easily accessible by sending the link in an email, the recipient will be able to view my work on their desktop instantly.  The DVD or CD will be the second choice, I would be able to furnish the prospective employer with a hard copy of my reel or digital portfolio.  

Audience

After researching a couple of video editing companies in NYC, I've made the following observations.  The first company, Park Avenue Post is a full service post house with a high end client list (including my former employer).  It seems like a laid back studio but I can imagine the stress level as the deadlines loom.  I've worked in professional recording studios so I know the environment that these professionals work in.  This is a small firm but with a talented staff.  Two things of interest are the Nitris Hi def editing system, and that most high end editing companies are using the Avid instead of FCP or Premiere.  

The other company is Ballistic.  Their website is minimalistic but visually appealing.  Although it is a static site there is a page with examples of their work.  It definitely looks like something I can do, mostly rig removals, text replacements.  They speak to the clients with confidence while highlighting the quality of their work and their staff.  Their offices are on Lexington Ave. so I can assume they have a large number of advertising firms as clients.  If you click on the HD tab you will get a simple lesson in HD vs. SD and the pros and cons of downconverting.  Very nice.  I also noticed that the refer to their company as a "finishing house".

Resume

My first draft of my resume.  I appreciate any comments.

unifying element

The one unifying element in my work would be that it is all visually time based.  By that I mean videography, motion graphics, flash animations.  I will be showing some static artwork (photography, vector graphics) but the focus will be on the time based pieces.  I don't feel like I have enough material to create separate reels so I'll organize the one reel by content, as well as presenting the works inside a user interface.  I would like to highlight the editing so the transitions will have to spectacular.
