The New Sizzle Reel – June 2017
Planet Cool. A celestial body moving in it's own orbit. A place of new ideas, a destination—a place in New York. CHARIVARI
A First Look. Here we share with you a glimpse of what’s to come. We’ve put together our first, what’s called a sizzle reel. Sizzle reels or promo videos are usually 3-to-5 minute videos that combine the elements of audio and visuals to create a fast paced, stylized overview of a film.
Our original “teaser”, the short with visuals taken from the internet and narrated by Kate Walsh, that teaser was made to give a broad view of the film, and show what we could accomplish with no interviews or funding. Today we’ve uploaded actual footage we’ve shot for the film for you to see. These clips are taken from the interviews filmed in Palm Springs and Los Angeles earlier this year.
This sizzle reel presents hints of the key storylines to be covered in our film and is focused primarily on the eighties as Charivari rose to its zenith. Our interviewees have talked about their views of Selma Weiser and her bravery in opening the boutique, how it changed the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City, and fashion. Again, you get a glimpse of the importance of fashion at Charivari, and how they pioneered deconstructionism, bringing that movement in fashion to the United States.
Shopping in Rapture, the rapture of Planet Cool… where Fab Five Freddie told us everybody's fly. And they were, at Charivari.
