MGMT builds custom transformers — the backbone hardware behind the grid and the data-center buildout. They needed their story told well, in one tight piece.

The challenge

A $50K budget, a technical subject, and a story that had to land with audiences who don’t think about transformers until the power goes out.

The opening frames the stakes: the grid the whole economy sits on.

The craft

I produced and led the edit — and covered capture on set when the client couldn’t be there — one accountable lead from plan to finished piece.

Placeholder — a few lines connecting this frame to the story go here, the way the KangaRoddy write-up walks between its stills.

The outcome

A two-and-a-half-minute piece that tells the company’s story at the quality its sector suddenly demands.
