In this reel our client Janjay Sherman needed a reel to showcase her hosting abilities. She was recently called out the blue by a major talent agency. They were starting a new division for hosting talent and asked her if she had a reel.

Janjay had recently won a reality show contest on "The Fashionista Diaries" where contestants vie to work for a big advertisement firm.

Now all Janjay had was 10 episodes of the show... a lot of footage. As we discussed the reel, Janjay came up with an idea to talk about her experiences on the show, which was great. We suggested she pick five clips that were fun and that defined her experiences on the show. We also had Janjay come up with some prepared dialogue to describe the featured clips.

On the day of the shoot we shot in front of a green screen. We modified her dialogue a bit and directed her to showcase her natural charisma. Afterwards we edited down the selected 5 clips which were originally 15 minutes down to approx 3 minutes using extra appropriate music from other clips to hide our big edits, play underneath Janjay’s intros and make everything flow.

The final product is a sleek, fast and entertaining showcase for Janjay as she hosts her own little featurette.
