This piece had two moving targets from the start. It needed to show how Microsoft Teams Walkie Talkie worked in the field, and it also had to support a joint story with Samsung around the Galaxy XCover Pro.
Originally, we planned to film parts of it. Then quarantine hit, so the whole approach shifted. We rebuilt the piece around 3D phone renders, motion graphics, and Samsung-provided footage, which meant a lot of coordination across both teams to keep the story clear and the visuals consistent.
I oversaw post through that pivot. I worked with Rational on the 3D renders of the phone, gave rounds of feedback as those developed, and directed the 2D motion and edit so everything felt like one piece. The final video highlighted the dedicated XCover key, the field-ready hardware, and the idea that fast communication should still feel simple and secure.

• Cross-team coordination across Microsoft and Samsung to keep the product story and partner needs aligned.
• Pivoted from planned live action to a 3D-led approach during quarantine, with Rational developing the phone renders.
• Directed the edit, motion graphics, and integration of Samsung footage so the final piece felt cohesive.
