James T. Kirk was a great man, but that was another life.

Don’t waste time on elaborate packaging. All you need is a marker, and an easy to read typeface.

This was one thing in the OP or second post that I thought deserved some discussion. One of the things that I've always felt, and has always been pounded into me is the quality of the reel submitted needs to feel very professional. Now this doesn't mean you need to have thermal pressed DVDs with an incredibly detailed and overworked identity logo. But simply writing your name and contact info in sharpie on a DVD really doesnt cut it. I've spoken with several reel reviewers that kind of shocked me when they said anything with handwritten DVD labels would get trashed almost immediately and they'd often only look at the work on a lark.

Personally, after seeing thousands of reels shuffle through here, the more fancy the presentation, the more lovely the reel. This is almost an absolute 99 times out of 100.

i guess this surprises me as well. At least personally i'd think it would speak more towards people that go the little bit extra to make sure their whole package works and looks good. However I will defer to your experience on the matter. I'll just try and make sure I'm that 1 in 100 :)
