Resume Tape

[onemansporto]

I know that resume tape questions have been discussed a million times here. My dilemma is I had my best sportscast ever the other night. Our air check tape has the snow closing and delays squeeze/crawl. Because of that the show is 3/4 of the screen and supers are not seen. Can I use this on my resume tape or not?

I wouldn't see why not. They're looking at you, not the crawl. But then again, I'm a show producer, not talent.

Use it. Absolutely. The tape is about you.

I'm curious... in your opinion (and without giving your name & location away), what made this cast so good?

Your delivery? The story content? The writing? Technical strength? The crosstalk?

I watch/evaluate/critique a lot of reels. Am always interested in how people decide what to include on them.

Randy, everything you mentioned.I'd say my delivery and presentation was good. In addition production wise everything ran fine.

Snow, weather crawls won't harm it from being on a resume tape ONE ounce.

Do you guys run a clean feed anywhere? I have crawls, bugs and squeezes all on my tape. If you're good, a news director will notice. Best wishes.
