"Alan's
patience, precision, good humoured advice and expertise in whittling
bags of material down to a punchy showreel - complete with
links, Youtube postings, and smart packaging, is awesome! Like
solving a 10000 piece jigsaw puzzle - he sifts, discusses and
assembles, all in the comfort of his relaxed home. The agony of
having to look at myself on screen all day, passed remarkably quickly
and easily! The proof is, as they say, in the pudding
though, and my showreel has been admired on both sides of the
Atlantic for its professionalism. I wouldn't go anywhere else,
or have any hesitation in recommending The Reel Deal! "
”Alan's
production experience is really useful as he can make
helpful suggestions whilst listening to what you want. My agent
has used my showreel to show new artists what a good showreel should
look like”.
“I
am happy to say that I loved making the showreel with Alan. Showreels
can be pretty painful things to put together, but his objective eye,
experience at editing and judgement made it a pleasure. I was
delighted with the end result and have been using it ever since”.
“I
was dreading compiling a new showreel, but Alan at The Reel Deal made
it a painless experience. From decisive editing when I was dithering
about what scenes to put in, to really valuable input about the
order, length and what music to put on the montage! And we had a
laugh at the same time - what more could you want!”
“Alan's
advice from which scenes to use, the order and the
music to the design on the cover was invaluable and I was delighted
with my finished showreel. I would definitely recommend him as
an excellent editor who works in an informal, relaxed environment to
produce exactly what is needed”.
”This
was my first experience getting a showreel edited, so I really wasn’t
sure what to expect. I went with The Reel Deal on the back of a
recommendation and was very pleased that I did.
Alan
put me immediately at ease and it was clear from the get go that he
was dedicated to producing a showreel designed with a personal touch
and, specifically, to get me noticed”.
“I
would recommend The Reel Deal to any actor ! They have excellent
rates and the whole process is so easy, in fact it’s fun! The end
product is of the highest standard and put on Youtube for no
extra cost!”
"Despite
having years of experience and hundreds of satisfied clients, Alan
made me feel like I was his first and only client! A very personal
service delivered with charm, sophistication, style and no little
expertise. Thank you Reel Deal!"
“I
only needed one day and left with my showreel in my hand. Alan is
generous and goes out of his way to customise your showreel to
promote you the best way he can. I recommend him highly”.
"I
found working with The Reel Deal to be really relaxed, friendly,
helpful and very productive. I was very happy with the results and
cannot recommend them highly enough."
"An
absolutely fantastic and friendly service. I wasn't even sure I
had enough good material for my first reel but after a really fun day
I came away with a reel that is not only useable but exceeded my
expectations."
“It
was great working with Alan as he was open to suggestions when
putting together my showreel as well as helping me with his expertise
and quality of product. It should be noted The Reel Deal have
terrific competitive prices. What a find!!”
“Alan
at The Reel Deal exudes a calm confidence. He goes through your work
in a non-judgemental way; whatever's there, he'll make the best of
it. He works quickly, the showreel's there at the end of the session,
ready to take to your agent. I went to him, bracing myself for all
the joys of root canal work, but it was fun. My agent was delighted
with the end result. Highly recommended”
"Alan
at The Reel Deal was a tremendous help with revamping my
showreel. Took his time, got to know me and what I wanted, great
internal edits. Since then, I've had several jobs based
on my showreel alone - which is what it's suppose to do!"
"Working
on my showreel was an incredibly creative and
professional experience. Alan makes you feel both relaxed and
comfortable with the process and with his years of experience he
always produces excellent results!"
“I
found Alan to be honest and approachable. His opinion and guidance
was well balanced with my own ideas. He did exactly what it said on
the tin and with a fast turnaround. He responded quicker than other
companies who I contacted. My showreel continues to be work in
progress and I will continue to use Alan”.
"Alan
worked with me, and took all the time necessary to get me an
excellent reel. We worked together for a whole afternoon and I didn’t
leave until I was completely satisfied. The response to it has been
fantastic"
“In
a few words, my experience with The Reel Deal has been wonderful,
the showreel you made for me received nothing but
positive reactions and more importantly, it's gotten me work.
Furthermore it's great value for money. I hope to use The Reel
Deal again soon, when I've got new stuff to add to my showreel”.
“The
Reel Deal took the hassle out of the compilation of my showreel and
made me wonder why I had put it off for so long. Definitely value for
money”.
“Alan
was amazing. He made me feel very welcome from the moment i arrived
and soon got to grips with my personality and the best way to show it
off. He gave me great advice on what footage to use and produced for
me a great showreel! I've even had people I don’t know who've
seen it on the web, email me and tell how good it is! Hooray for
REEL DEAL SHOWREEL!!”.
“A
pleasant, helpful, creative and painless experience. Alan is very
good indeed".
“I
searched for a long time and spoke to loads of showreel companies
before going with The Real Deal. If you care about the content
and feel of your showreel, how you are portrayed, and want complete
confidence, don't go anywhere else”.
"Pain-free,
fast, thorough and organic are words I would use to describe The Reel
Deal. There is no formula that must be followed; The Reel Deal (or
Alan depending on what you prefer) will work with you to create a
showreel that not only reflects your work but also your personality.
You will come away with a unique and individual creation. In one
all-day session I came away with a 6 minute showreel and a 5 minute
copy for Spotlight. Less than a week later they were on Casting Call
Pro and Youtube, I had 40 copies in well-presented cases and had
already secured myself a TV series after giving my first copy away.
Highly recommended."
“If
I tell you the truth about my Reel Deal experience, I'm afraid you
may think I've been paid by Alan. However, since in reality all he's
done is asked me politely - no strings attached - I shall risk it. It
started with a phone call that gave me the feeling I had already
known Alan about ten years. From that moment on I knew I was in good
hands. Meeting him face to face was an even more pleasant experience.
he took me and my needs seriously and even though I felt I had
limited material that I thought wasn't very good, he assured me that
I wasn't the first actor to say that and we would definitely be able
to put together a reel that would attract viewers and make an impact.
All this is true, and then some. I am proud to show my reel and all
the responses to it have been outstanding. I look forward to The Reel
Deal adding more work to my reel and will continue to recommend Alan
to all actors I know who are reel-less!”
“Alan
from The Reel Deal was an absolute pleasure to work with. Fantastic
result and he knew exactly what I wanted from my show reel. Great
quality and fairly priced, I highly recommend using The Reel Deal”.
"I
found the Real-Deal show-reel company to be an excellent choice for
my showreel needs; passion for the job and hospitality combined! A
cup of tea and a biscuit whilst you edit your work together;
receiving not only good, solid advice from an industry professional,
but also, your own input and ideas into
show-reel. A showreel which - trust me! - will not disappoint.
Observe his work! Go see Alan! "
"At
the beginning of the day all I had was my showreel material and no
idea how to piece it together. By mid-day I felt relaxed, comfortable
and excited at what my reel already looked like. By home-time I had a
superbly packaged showreel that showed me off brilliantly! Great
value, exceptional service and I would say beyond a
real deal. Thank you Alan."
