Audiences attending the SXSW premiere of “The Fall Guy,” starring Ryan Gosling, were not happy about having to watch a sizzle reel before the movie that touted the promises of AI.

The fuck is a “sizzle reel”. I mean, I get what it probably is from context, but who comes up with this shit
@JRepin@lemmy.ml
Elitists who make money from nothing or off the backs of others also invent catchy phrases to glorify and sanitize their worthless activities.
Its kinda like when they bring out fajitas at a restaurant on one of those fake ass skillets that was just resting under a broiler and they add water or soy sauce + oil to make it sizzle, to sell it to others.
Now that’s an explanation I can get behind. Also, I now want fajitas.

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?
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.
I’ve seen such things (though not Apple presentations) and don’t recall ever hearing the term sizzle reel.
Da fug is a sizzle reel. Sounds like a term 1st graders came up with…
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.
It’s actually Sizzler Eel, it’s my pet fish.
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.
There’s no need to be a dick about it, just because you know a something doesn’t mean everyone else must also know it. I can guarantee there’s common terms you aren’t familiar with. Especially when you consider that this is marketing jargon with common alternate terms (eg demo reel).
If people are going to be dicks about not knowing the term I’m going to be a dick about knowing the term.
how were they being a dick? I’ve never heard of it either, your weird gatekeeping over a fucking marketing term is very strange
If you don’t know a term you look it up or you ask. Like you should probably do for “gatekeeping”
You don’t turn around and go. “who made this term a five year old, oh wait executives are five year olds”.
That’s being a dick because they are proudly showing off their ignorance and colossal ego.
man go have a snickers and go outside. cool off
