Can anyone view my work? Do they
need any special program?
Yes. Anyone can view your work any time. If a QuickTime (most
commonly used media player by Industry Professionals) is not installed on their
computer, a FREE automatic download and install is available.
Can you feature a reel that runs
over ten minutes?
Yes. Any length,
any format. Our Professional Membership allows for Unlimited amount of spots
and updates
When someone sees my reel and
wants to hire me, can they contact me directly?
Yes, as a member we provide you:
Your own and or agent/representative personalized contact
information page.
A “Reel Request” directly sent to you or
agent/representative.
An “Availability Request” directly sent to you or
agent/representative.
Will your company send
my reel out to perspective clients?
Yes, upon request your reel can
be sent directly from our offices in different formats: CD, DVD, ¾” tape, Beta,
etc…A full screen download format is also available.
Will
the quality of the video spots vary according to connection speed or amount of
users visiting the website at the same time?
No. Unlike other streaming media technologies such as Windows Media
or Real Media, QuickTime will not drop frames if the connection is
slow due to connection type or increased traffic.
As importantly, during our
encoding process we do not “drop frames”: Allowing viewers to “pause” and watch “frame by frame” as it was
originally shot.
What if another member has already submitted a spot that I do not wish to
present in my reel?
You can customize your reel by
selecting which spots/videos to display and create separate reels: General
reel, Car reel, Table Top etc…

your site right now?
