The fuck is a “sizzle reel”. I mean, I get what it probably is from context, but who comes up with this shit
I’ve heard it before, i thought the context was for a specific product, or like a video resume for visual artists… not a video to be shown to the public at a conference
I am generally confused as to how you’ve never heard the term before and are just assuming it’s a new phrase.
When and in which context would I have heard this?
Any time a product is being shown off.
Fucking anything. Apple showing off its new iPhone features, a studio showing clips from its upcoming shows, and an actor showcasing their previous work.
Understand that many people live their entire lives without caring one tiny bit about any of those things.
Da fug is a sizzle reel. Sounds like a term 1st graders came up with…
A short video normally no longer than 3 minutes designed to show off a product, usually in the form of a montage.
It’s an old term so I can’t imagine how you could live your life and not hear the term.
Marketing and executive work shares many similarities with being in first grade. Flashy colors and stupid slogans go pretty far when the target has a child’s brain.
The target being the executives who will approve the marketer’s work.
I’m dying. 🤣

I’ve heard of it before and I don’t work in advertising or video production. Why is everyone focusing on this term like these guys invented it?
Super common in my industry, which is corporate events, not show biz
You read my mind 👏

Elitists who make money from nothing or off the backs of others also invent catchy phrases to glorify and sanitize their worthless activities.
Yeah, reading that phrase already has me a bit pissed off. Gonna cooldown before watching the conference itself 😂
