50 London Showreel Companies
If you're an actor that's just beginning their career then you'll need a great showreel to find work or get a good agent. And if you don't have any film/TV credits then the best option is to get one professionally made through a showreel company. Below we have put together a list of 50+ London Showreel Companies. Each company is unique and specialises in different kinds of showreels; the prices, quality of the showreels and types of packages will vary from one company to another.
We recommend that you take a look at each company, their past work, history and credits of the directors and camera operators who will be creating the showreel. You should also take a look at external reviews of each company to understand what kind of experiences previous actors had with them. This should give you a good indication of which company you would like to work with.
Secondly you need to consider the individual packages: how many scenes will you get? How many different characters? Different locations? What camera will it be shot on? What will the length of the final showreel be? You will soon realise that there is a very big difference between different companies and their packages (and therefore also the prices).
Finally you should also consider what kind of acting jobs you would like to get in the future. You should consider if you would like to work on commercial ads, feature films or TV shows. This will dictate what kind of showreel you will want and therefore which company you should pick.
If you are interested in all film related work and not just acting you can also take a look at our list of film job sites here, London film recruitment companies here or a blog with a list of London film production companies here.
