You’ll never get a second chance to make a first impression that is why your demo reel should not only be really good, your DVD should be housed in a really attractive case, too. Who would want to watch your reel if your DVD packaging is boring? As a filmmaker, this is your number one marketing tool.
If you don’t put your best foot forward in how you package your DVD, you will not get the results that you want. Don’t ruin your chances of creating a really good impression. Your DVD packaging is possibly the best investment for your career/business.
To inspire you, here are some of the most creative demo reel DVD packaging:
FOUND OBJECTS
WADE
SILO
FACTORY FIFTEEN
Best of luck on your marketing efforts. May this year be THE year you make that giant leap.
