After speaking to John about my strategy to find a job with a sports company (see this post) and talking about how sending them all an A3 printed portfolio wasn't cost-effective, John suggested creating some sort of promotional video to promote the key projects to encourage the reader to look at the portfolio and read the e-mail fully. He cited the showreel by Alphabet shown below.
Showreel – Alphabet from Alphabet on Vimeo.
The key projects for this use are the collaborative briefs Joe and I have been doing, so I spoke to him about it too before going ahead with it, and he agreed it would be very beneficial.
As neither of us are capable of making something like this we've asked Kit Cowey (3rd year Vis Com) to collaborate with us on this. After showing him the work we've been producing and talking him through our plans for the video he was keen to work with us. We asked Kit specifically after seeing some of his recent work on Facebook and knowing that he's interested in football as Joe and I met him through the uni football team.
We also think that having a video like this will help our chances of having our work published on a design blog, specifically The Modern Game.
