The hidden trap of developing a demo-reel rather than a portfolio is that a demo reel like any other video piece depends heavily on non visual art related things such as editing, pacing, direction, story boarding, special effects and music.
Due to this its often hard to figure out the true talent of the candidate whether it lies in visual art or video editing and production, and that’s assuming the demo-reel is good and interesting.
If the reel happens to be made badly then even though the art may be good it’s very difficult to recognize it for a specially for a reviewer who has to go through at least a few dozen (often similar looking) demos.
