Monday Myth Debunkers: The More Clips the Better.

The more the better, right?⁠

Here’s a quick hint:⁠
⁠
Clips β‰― a reel⁠
⁠
Clips are not the solution and π—–π—˜π—₯π—§π—”π—œπ—‘π—Ÿπ—¬, more is not better. ⁠
⁠
Think of this way:⁠
⁠
We have THOUSANDS of submissions to go through and it can feel overwhelming. ⁠
⁠
Sure, we’re used to it (and certainly not complaining), but when we’re faced with a long list of clips, it can feel even more overwhelming. ⁠
⁠
We don’t know what to click and where to click first. ⁠
⁠
Yes, you can do a good job of thoroughly labeling your clips to give us a better sense of what we’re about to watch, BUT sometimes we don’t exactly know what β€œromantic lead” means until we watch it. ⁠
⁠
And if we click on the wrong thing, well, it’s 50/50 whether we’ll click on something else. ⁠
⁠
“But everyone says I need separate clips?!?”⁠
⁠
Yes, a short specific clip is helpful for a SPECIFIC type of role. But anything more than that?⁠

⁠
If you can, best to have fully constructed reels (separated only by genre: drama and comedy) along with some clips. ⁠
⁠
But keep it tight!⁠

⁠
Keep it to the best of the best and don’t give us a single moment to second guess bringing you in. ⁠
