2015 Showreel

[Aleksei Gorodenkov]

Almost everything is shot on RED Scarlet-X. Some shots on Canon 7D.

Thank you for watching! Looking for a feedback

It looks awesome. The only things that I noticed are some composites that feel like the key could be a little softer. Some of the mattes seem to be a little too edgy and that they need a little more feathering or light wrap. That's only a few of them though. Overall the look is phenomenal!

Hey Aleksei, I think the reel has some really, really strong work in it - and a bunch of lesser work that you shoul get rid of.
There's a lot of closeup on rock and ice and other stuff that really doesn't tell me anything about you as a DP, especially because the shots appear like 15 times and one single time would be enough. Also, the action movie stuff with the SWAT team is badly graded - the blue has a strong DSLR/cheap feel - and I'd throw that out or re-grade it if I were you.

I think if you cut it down to 1:30 or 1:45, you'll have a way stronger impact on a viewer. You worked on some impressive projects, don't dilute it with work that's old. Same goes for the guy sitting at the car and looking at camera, the lighting looks sloppy. The aerial shot of the car in the beginning looks cheap (everyone has drones now, but I can see the noise and weird coloring as a turn-off).
Also, I think your beginning needs to be stronger; I want to keep watching with an initial "Wow", whereas now there's a lot of the closeup materials and the SWAT stuff.


The rest is excellent, great job!
