Thanks for doing this AMA.

Background: I've been trying to get a steady, paying job in the entertainment field for about 3 years. I have a degree in Cinema from a well known University. I've acquired a decent amount of experience (worked in tv, film, radio, and music) and about 2 years of video experience doing video with a highly regarded music company (but unfortunately this company is little known outside of the music/journalism world).

Question: I'm working on a portfolio. How would be the best way to showcase my photography (few hundred photos), my related video content (I have quite a bit of notable content), and my outside related content (filming weddings and other celebrations, etc) in a way that would be most attractive to an employer?

This seemed oddly appropriate. Supposedly it's the last song Freddie Mercury ever recorded. Time to burn one for our fallen heroes. Thanks for keeping' it real, Teej.

Thank you for the advice!

On top of the PDF portfolio, what are your thoughts on putting up a video portfolio and/or a sizzle reel online? Is there a preferred/more professional video hosting site (YouTube, Vimeo, Vevo, etc) that you would recommend using?

I've also been seriously considering making my own website to display all of this information.

Thanks.

Thanks again. Really appreciate all of the feedback. I'll do my best to follow what you've laid out and hopefully find something related to my field!
