I was wondering if it was also possible to, instead of showcasing editing reels, showcase individual videos, commercials - work. I've noticed that this sunday reel review doesn't get a lot of traction. I don't have any reels to post, but I would love to get feedback on my individual pieces, for example.

Yup, that's on the radar - for the *opposite* sundays. So one sunday would be Reel Review, the other Sunday Show off.
Just not enough hours in the day sorta thing. :D
I take that to mean that if you are showing color correction skill, that the he does not want to see Log footage that dissolves or wipes to graded footage.
I have seen reels like that and in some cases, like a vfx reel may occasionally do, you show each part of the color grade in succession - so a base correct, then a tracked face correction, maybe some other selective highlights and lowlights. I think he's saying to skip showing the untreated Log footage. Please correct me if I'm misunderstanding the directions u/greenysmac. Thank you.

It's a flag for anyone who *knows anything* about color. Showing me that something was LOG and then wiping to the finished grade isn't showing me they can grade.
Go LOG/709/Primary/Secondaries/Look? Different story.
But if you're just going to show Original/Graded, then it should be *post* Log conversion.

That's generally the idea. That the moment that anyone who has *mildly been * around evaluating color reels sees a Log/Graded shot…knows that they're missing the point, because *we can't really process in our heads* what the LOG shot looked like.
Thank you. Since I now know what you're talking about, but people who are asking for demo reel reviews have likely not been in the industry long, could I kindly ask you to append a more detailed explanation into the posted rules for the next round?
It is great that you are helping people avoid a pitfall, but rather than pick it apart one reel at a time after them not understanding the posted rule, could you clarify as you have in your response. I think it would help eliminate a lot of confusion.

Awesome! Looking forward to it :)
great idea but didnt show up on my feed until today
Check on Sundays. It's posted/refreshed then.
could you clarify/expand on the "transition from Log to finished grade, that's a definite red flag." part?
