Award Winning Reels

Anastasia and Meredith were great to work with. I combed through my footage, both old and new, and brought it to them in our initial meeting. In our meeting they allowed me the time to go through the scenes and moments that I felt were "reel worthy" with them. We then discussed what I was aiming for with this reel and they informed me that based on their own personal and professional experience, they would go over my footage and assemble a reel that showed my range and my acting in the best light. After a couple passes and some tweaking (adding a scene I felt I really wanted on my reel), we were finished within a few days time.

This was a great experience and I can say that they will definitely give you what you want and what they feel will work for the footage you provide. The only reason why I did not give five stars is because it is VERY EXPENSIVE. I looked at a couple other companies that do the same, and I came across a company that charged less, but I liked AWR's work more. I have done my reels on my own in the past and wanted to see what someone else could bring to the table. What they provided for me may not have been what I would have provided for myself, but I am glad I did this. Just be sure you are comfortable paying upwards of $600 for a reel, but a very good reel.

You guys...hire Julien to edit your reel. Now. It is absolutely worth every penny. I considered hiring a friend to edit my reel at a much lower cost but decided to invest in my career with a true professional. I am so glad I did! I brought Julien HEAPS of footage from all my projects with a quick deadline since my reel had been requested by a major network. Julien was so accomodating and listened to my needs. He and I sat together for several hours and selected all the very best footage that would most effectively show off my personality, range, and skill set.

3 days later, BAM! I have a professional hosting reel that I am proud to send to major networks and casting directors. Julien is a true pro. Not to mention a totally cool dude. Thanks White Swan Films!

Julien is an excellent editor with a keen eye for what makes a good demo reel. I always get great feedback from CDs and my representation on my reel - which is rare!

White Swan is now also writing, shooting and editing scenes for actors' demo reels. A friend got hers done through White Swan and I was blown away by the quality!!! I highly recommend this company. Everything they do is top notch!

Anyway they have a another editor Nick Pinzon that worked with me along side Anastasia and the two of them did an outstanding job. Award winning reels walks the walks. Nick's proficiency on capitalizing on the life of my showreel has felt career defining. Hope Brown

I met with Julien to update my demo reel and I can honestly say it's one of the most valuable investments I have made in my career to date. Julien and Anastasia are pros that know a lot about the industry and what a demo reel is suppose to look like for current industry trends, but also to help you set your demo apart. The entire process was quick and fast, professional. Since I've uploaded my new reel, the phone calls and emails for jobs are rolling in and I am extremely happy with the results! Thanks Julien and Anastasia!

There's nothing but good here. I used Julien to edit my Demo reel and got such great feedback from CDs and my rep that I went back and did two more short reels too. He has such a great sense of pace, current styles and I trust him to make the tough choices when I couldn't quite decide. I have referred white swan to my friends and I won't go anywhere else when I need a new reel. Oh and they are fast and because it's not a swanky studio space they are affordable too. Done and done.

Julien did an exceptional job on my reel. Easy to work with, technically masterful, and he brings a wit and artistry to his editing that I wasn't expecting. I left with exactly what I needed and felt like I learned a few things from watching him work.
