So a friend of mine needs a Demo Reel and I agreed to throw one together for them. They're looking for an acting reel, wanting to use it for more indy film work. I've only got one indy feature, a student short, and possibly a play (if they can find the dvd from years ago, but I may not use it anyways).

However, it's been quite a while since I've cobbled a Demo Reel together. I'm sure I'm rusty and I'm having a bit of trouble getting back into the swing of things.

Can you guys toss out some ideas, pointers, basic rules that I should be reminded of?

Y'alls help would be greatly appreciated by me and by my friend.
