Nobody has ever forwarded a deck to a colleague.

This was a pitch to a multi-billion dollar, Nasdaq-listed silicon company, so I sent a film instead of slides. It's framed like The Office, with deadpan single camera, straight to lens performances and a recurring cast, all generated and cut like the real thing.

Our engineer works from a cluttered home office in his pyjama bottoms, his drone catches and carries the laptop for him, and at one point he skis into a tree and comes back with the snow still on him. Enterprise is the hardest room to be interesting in. They said yes, and the rebrand followed.

What went into it

Cast
An engineer in pyjama bottoms and a drone with robot arms that does his chores
Sets
A cluttered home office, an electronics bench, a workshop and an alpine ski slope
Shots
About 55, in just over three minutes
The trick
The drone gets its own reaction shots, like any good mockumentary sidekick
