Inspiring Reels and Beautiful Shots

2010 Show Reel - Director of Photography from Marlon Torres on Vimeo.

      I searched DP reels on vimeo. I watched a few and I picked this one because it completely took my breath away. I love the colors from the DSLR cameras he used because everything feels so real when you watch it. I love the natural lighting and natural beauty of his shots. He uses a lot of outside locations to shoot. The beach shots are amazing. I feel like I am actually at the beach. I love his detailed shots. I am in love with tight shots that are very personal and show detail. He uses a great deal of these. The music went very well with his personal style which is very similar to mine. Personal, naturally beautiful, and breathtaking. I hope some day that my reel will be as beautiful as his.
      To me, a money shot is a shot that takes your breath away, a shot that makes you wish you were there where everything looks perfect and beautiful. Many of the shots in this reel are money shots to me because they feel real and beautiful.


 
MAMMOTH REEL 2010 from MAMMOTH on Vimeo.
      This reel is much different from the previous one. It is much more fast paced and incorporates many different genres. I love the use of graphics in this reel. It seems like they are used as transition points and they work very well. Even though the reel had many different types of shots, everything fit because of the way the clips were arranged with the music. I was entertained and wanted to see more. I like how the reel started with people and ended with people in the same type of shots. I love to see people laugh and I really like that they used people laughing to begin and end the reel. The movement in between is really awesome too.
