I really can't express how different performing visuals at concerts vs a church is.

It's like someone asking "How do I get my river guide company off the ground?" and you reply "Well you could give tours of old folk's homes instead."

They're not even in the same category.

Maybe you could try and educate us? Because they are more similar to each other than they are to plate tectonics.
Did you watch OPs demo reel? How many of those videos do you think would be an appropriate background at a church?
And you are assuming OP couldn't have created alternative styles of video for the relevant audience?

He would definitely have to alter his showreel or taylor one to a different market but the core skills are the same...

Your argument is like saying a frontend dev cannot do any backend work because "the only do the GUI parts", if they are a competent dev at most it will take getting some familiarity with the core concepts but the fundamental skills are still there.

Please exclude the bootcamp react devs who are still new to the industry from your mental model when answering the above to yourself.

Are you under the impression that OP’s demo reel is a full and complete representation of all his possible output?
