Ken's showreel doesn't include any contact information embedded in the video, this is fine for sites like Reel Clever where contact information is available, but its worth chucking at least an email address into your reel incase it gets ripped and sent around virally. That is the only gripe we have with Ken's reel, so now onto the praise and glory.
Ken's showreel is effectively a two minute montage with a random mix of short film, music video, events and motion graphics. Each shot shows a high level of professionalism in every visual department, especially lighting. There's some quite complex lighting going on but it fits seamlessly within the rest of the Mise en scène. There's a shot towards the end of an interview with a rocker that really shines in the lighting department. Snazzy shots aside Ken has some great visual concepts and camera placement. In particular the stop motion shots of the chairs as audio meters and the shots taken from a camera attached to a BMX bike were just very smart ideas, simple but very effective.
