Parody shorts
A short comedy for an audience that knows the people in it, or the situation: a team's big night told as an 80s action-show intro, a Halloween creature feature, a Christmas TV ad. The group can be any group (a sales team, a school staff room, a five-a-side club, a family) and the subject anything they lived through together. They land harder than anything else the toolkit makes, because the audience is laughing at things they recognise. This skill is how to make one on purpose.
Built and learned on three videos for one team in November 2026 (an action-show intro of a release, its Halloween
sister cut, a Christmas ad of A Christmas Carol). They are not in examples/ because they star real colleagues.
Then on two public shorts with an invented cast (a horror trailer about the video call that never ends, a wildlife
documentary about the return to the office), each in 16:9 and vertical, plus a brand edition in a product's own UI.
