Send the few films that match the agency's brief, with your role and availability stated clearly.

The practical answer

Send the few films that match the agency's brief, with your role and availability stated clearly. A private pitch should reduce the work needed to evaluate you.

An agency requests tabletop product work. A long general reel makes the producer search through unrelated drama and event footage.

Put it into practice

A three-step working sequence

  1. 01

    Choose directly relevant examples

    Write the requirement down before sending the files. Use the project identifiers in the record below.

  2. 02

    State your contribution and publication restrictions

    Use the real recipient or receiving environment for this check. Record the result against the current version.

  3. 03

    Give one clear route for a follow-up

    Keep the result with the project handoff. Resolve any mismatch before treating this step as complete.

Worked handoff

A concrete example

A useful note is: “Here are three tabletop examples relevant to your brief. I handled editing on the first two and finishing on the third. The second is for private consideration only. Contact me here for availability.”

Keep the record

Your project worksheet

Brief, selected films, role on each, access needs, contact, availability.

Use these fields to record your own project. The blank worksheet includes the three steps above, room for results, an owner and a date. It is an editorial template, not an automatic export from the product.

Product fit

Where uncompressed.io fits

uncompressed.io provides hosted films and embeds without platform ads or a recommendation feed. The website still controls its layout, surrounding text and inquiry flow. Test the published embed rather than assuming the hosting dashboard represents the finished portfolio.

Make the next step concrete

Test it with one real project.

Check the client handoff, then choose the plan that matches the work you need to deliver.
