Newbie question:
Can anyone tell me, In the context of music licensing, what is meant by a “reel”?
I am seeing this term, For example the website called “Reelcrafter.” From what I can gather, it means an audio file of a song, or possibly video too. I would like to know for sure. Thanks,
DaveA Reel is usually a collection of audio or video clips you send to supervisors or producers (or anyone that can give you a job) as a means of presenting your best work in a concise, orderly way. Guess the name comes from the film Showreels actors used to ‘ship’ around to get work. It’s also called a Demo Reel but the name does not imply that the content should be demos or unfinished work, just a collection of your best work or what is most suited to a particular listing or job offer.
By the way, I use ReelCrafter and I really like it. Easy to use.
