Sizzle Reel
Sizzle Reel Production
Hero Initiative | Video & Title Production | 2020
Hero Initiative is a registered charity dedicated to helping comic book creators in medical and financial need.
Hero Initiative needed a promotional video to sell their new fundraiser – Zoom sessions with today’s top Comic talent.
I created a sizzle reel which consisted of the “best of” moments from previous sessions. Taking the standard definition Zoom video, I converted all the source video to Full HD 1080p to get the best resolution possible on source material that was somewhat degraded. (Some of the participants had attended the sessions with low quality integrated cameras or poor internet connections.) I then spliced together the best moments of many the best sessions, making quick cuts to give the pacing of the video a funny, quirky “YouTuber” feel in order to appeal to social media viewers and achieve maximum engagement. I then added music and titles that integrated perfectly with H.I.’s comic book branding.
