Showreel

Short demo video

A showreel (also known as a demo reel, sizzle reel, or work reel) is a short video showcasing a person's previous work used by people involved in filmmaking and other media, including actors, animators, lighting designers, editors, video games and models. Usually 2 to 3 minutes in length and consisting of footage from different projects, a showreel typically supplements a résumé and is used to promote the person to talent agents, producers, and casting directors.[1][2][3] A voice actor may create an audio-only showreel, a voice reel, for the same purpose.

An example of a cinematography showreel

Outside of the entertainment industry, companies use showreels for brand management and other forms of marketing communications and public relations, which in this case is called a corporate showreel.[4] They are also used for public relations, advertising, or propaganda of various kinds.[5][6]
