For an interview that breaks down what a sizzle reel is, this video does not sizzle itself. I expected to hear bacon frying when I played this video...it did not
That sizzle cost 10’000 dollars ?? L.A. must be a VERY expensive city cause, you can do this with 500 and a few favors where I’m from... The movie trailer looks pretty good, I’m happy you could do your movie 😎👍
I'm using an Instagram page to create a "sizzle".. which I take as NOT my hi light reel of past work but ideas of my current script presented visually. An example.. airports are an important element in the story.. .in the past year I have shot snippets on the fly (haha) at a number of airfields.. both the stills and moving images I have gathered represent what I think the story should look like, feel like.. sound like. I see a Sizzle as a page from my story board come to life.. a bit.
Is a Sizzle reel, rip reel just a bunch of scenes ripped from other movies and tv shows and edited in a way the creator envisioned the idea in his/her head?
I was thinking the same thing. If two people can read your script, and one would see it as a straight action script, but another sees an action comedy, I would definitely think I needed to do a rewrite. But then again, this dude has made a feature and I haven't, so who am I to say?
This isn't so. A dialogue or even a single line can be delivered in so many different ways you couldn't imagine. It is all in the subtext and the characters intentions and many other things. So a piece of dialogue says zero about the tone, style and feel of the final movie. The exact same script can be made in completely different ways.
In the book "Story" (at least I think that's where I read it), Robert McKee provides an example of how the same scene on the page could be filmed radically differently just through lighting and cast choice.
...very insightful information. Good questions too.

Cool, but what is a Sizzle Reel?
Basically a bunch of visual clips grouped together to kinda drive home a certain tone.
Here is the sizzle reel that Tom made for his feature 'Danger One' - vimeo.com/124190625/b754784dc8
@@MikeOzmun It is NOT a hi lite reel.

Pretty much
what's the difference between a sizzle and a teaser?
"People reading scripts, everyone will imagine it differently." Is this possibly more an issue with the script than with having a sizzle?

"a piece of dialogue says zero about the tone, style and feel" _if the tone, style and feel weren't written into the script_ though.
