acceptable resolution for showreel

hi all,

im not at the stage where im ready to put a show reel together, but i am aware when rendering out a personal project that i dont want to have to do it all again when the time is right - my computer is ok, but not great and some animated scenes that have a lot of frosted glass type materials, higher glossy samples etc are going to take a long time to render out at 1920 x 1080px

- i just wondered what resolution i should be aiming for? if its a show reel of someone not currently working in the industry, looking to get a generalist junior job, could i get away with 1280 x 720px?

any advice greatly appreciated,
nicky

I'm pretty confident you can get away with 720p, but I haven't really submitted a reel for a job before, so we could get some more opinions.
