“Hugo is fantastic! Not only did he deliver exactly what I wanted but he did it exceptionally fast! Communicated so swiftly from start to finish ... Was incredibly helpful and offered suggestions and advice throughout. Great communication, knowledge and service. I will be coming back and I will gladly recommend to friends.”
Trusted by UK actors submitting to Spotlight and leading agents.
“Hugo is brilliant and his work is superb!! I was delighted to see the final product of my showreel. His experience in the broadcast industry is evident in the quality of his productions and he was super responsive, understanding and helpful when it came to suggesting ideas on how to make the final piece really sparkle. ”
“Hugo responded almost immediately and was very helpful, professional and responsive. He was easy to work with and I’m very happy with my showreel edit. Thank you.”
“Thank you Hugo, you made it a breeze to work with you. You got the job done in a timely manner, were professional, made helpful suggestions, communicated clearly and went above and beyond. Here’s to having more showreels made by you as I grow and develop in the industry.”
“Let me know if there is any place you’d like me to leave a review. You’ve been a great help! Would definitely recommend.”
Jarvey asked me to create him a showreel from several clips, which all required some tweaks to bring out the best of his performances in the most time efficient way. He was very happy with the results.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should my showreel be?
A rough rule of thumb suggests 3 minutes is an optimum length for a showreel video, though, as with most things, there’s always flexibility. Don’t outstay your welcome but don’t sacrifice a killer scene just to fit under time!
How long does a showreel take to edit?
Typically I will get a first cut back to you within 2-3 days and a final cut in 4 days
How many revisions will I get?
I’ll do corrections until you’re happy with the reel but clients tend to be happy after 1 revision.
How much will it cost me?
A showreel will cost you £99 total, no matter the revisions required and is payable once you’re happy with the reel
What format will you deliver in?
I’ll send draft copies in low res H.264 with a watermark but final delivery will be 1080p H.264, which Spotlight and other video streaming sites will accept for upload.
Can I have some input on how my showreel is put together?
You can have as little or as much input as you like. If you’d like to provide a running order or notes to follow, feel free! I also export a rough cut so you know your demo reel is headed in the right direction!
Can you re-edit a scene to make me more prominent?
I can trim scenes, lessen other actors lines to give you maximum screen-time
I’m a talent agent, can you incorporate a ‘house style’?
If you provide branding, I can develop a house style for your clients’ showreels to follow.
What if my footage is on Youtube or somewhere else?
In many cases I can download from source, though if it’s on a paid streaming service such as Netflix you may want to contact the production company and ask for a copy.
I’ve got more questions, can I contact you?
Of course, I’m always happy to chat! Fill out the contact form below and I’ll get back to you double quick!
