A company film built to come apart
Run AI’s own 59-second pitch film, delivered as a master plus separately cut segments — so one film serves a website hero, a pitch deck and a social post without a re-edit each time.
Written from the artifact, not from an engagement record. Everything below describes the work itself and the craft inside it — nothing here claims what a particular client wanted, feared or achieved.

Context
The situation the work is built for.
A company film is usually commissioned as one artefact and then immediately asked to be six. The website wants twenty seconds above the fold, the deck wants the founder saying the one useful sentence, the social channel wants something under fifteen, and every one of those requests goes back to an editor who is no longer on the project. Six months later the film is stale and the studio quotes for a re-cut.

Constraint
The limit the work had to survive.
The film is fifty-nine seconds — deliberately under the minute that most platforms treat as the short-form boundary — and it is horizontal, which is the least accommodating orientation for the social surfaces it eventually has to feed. Both constraints are recorded in the delivery name. Working inside them means the modularity has to be designed at the edit, because it certainly cannot be retrofitted from a flattened export.

Mechanism
How it actually functions, step by step.
Cut the master first, at the length the format actually rewards — fifty-nine seconds, horizontal, web delivery. That is the film, and it is the thing that has to work on its own.
Deliver the segments as separate files rather than as markers on a timeline. An intro segment, a founder segment on the work itself, and closing segments are each their own asset, addressable without opening a project file.
Plan one segment in a lighter register. A corporate film that never breaks tone loses the viewer somewhere around the forty-second mark, and the reliable fix is a planned moment where the register drops — cut and stored as its own file so it can travel alone.
Cut the close separately, because the close is what decides whether a company film ends on an ask or simply stops.
Version the delivery name so status is legible from the file alone. This master is marked v01 at review, which tells anybody inheriting it exactly what they are holding.

How the work is labelled
How this is served
Nothing on this page plays on load, and nothing here is streamed out of somebody else’s file store. These masters have not been transcoded onto our own origin yet, so the player says exactly that rather than hotlinking a share link to look faster. Ask and we will screen any of them for you directly, at full quality, today.

What we measure
The instrumentation — where a results number would sit.
Where the results section would be
We don’t publish outcome numbers we can’t show you the dashboard for.
This case study ends here on purpose. We hold no client-authorised outcome figure for this work — no denominator, no date, no permission to publish one — so there is no results section. Everything above is checkable against files you can open on this page. When a number is authorised, it will appear here with the denominator and the date attached, and not before.
So here is the mechanism and the artifact instead, and below them the instrumentation we would ship with this work — the metric, where the number comes from, and the decision it triggers when it moves. Ask us for the measurement plan and we will walk through it against your own account, before you commit a rupee of media spend.
The measurement plan
Agreed before launch, wired up before the first impression, and read per creative — not per campaign, which is where a losing variant hides inside an average.
01Completion rate on the master.
- Instrument
- Player analytics on the page hosting the film, read against the 59-second runtime.
- Decision it triggers
- A consistent drop at the same timestamp identifies a specific beat to re-cut, rather than prompting a vague verdict that the film is too long.
02Segment play rate versus master play rate.
- Instrument
- Separate player events per segment file, since each is its own asset.
- Decision it triggers
- Segments that outperform the master get promoted to the primary surface; the master gets re-cut around whatever the segments proved.
03Re-edit requests over the first six months.
- Instrument
- A simple count in the project record — how often somebody needed a cut that did not already exist.
- Decision it triggers
- This is the honest test of whether the modular delivery worked. More than a couple of requests means the segment set was cut too coarsely and the next film gets a finer split.
04Conversion action after the closing segment.
- Instrument
- Click-through on the call to action adjacent to the player, attributed to the film’s page.
- Decision it triggers
- A close that does not convert gets rewritten and re-shot on its own, which is affordable precisely because it is a separate file.
