I don't understand why or how the people in the video are so glowingly happy/smiling. Is some point being made there?

It's an overproduced PR piece

[danellis]

What would be the correct amount of production?

A presentation at a conference like NANOG, APNIC, IETF, etc. See my other comment:

candid unrehearsed interviews

Good luck getting anyone at a publicly listed company to sign off on a video promoting a $xxx million project with candid unrehearsed interviews.

People happy to share their work. Is that some kind of problem?

[upwardbound]

The video doesn't look like that, it looks more like everyone was told "you have to smile more!!"

[openknot]

I was going to write that this was demonstrably untrue, but then I saw the muted-microphone shot of an interviewee laughing without context before cutting to a straight-faced interview segment that appeared more natural (at time = 80 s), which was quite possibly recorded after the straight-faced segment to make the video's happy tone consistent: https://youtu.be/N0ng8R0_Tis?t=80

[chrisseaton]

This seems a super-cynical take. Some people are smiley and happy naturally. You might pick them to be in a video.

Feeling comfortable at work usually doesn't involve grinning into an abyss like at one's best friend.

This looks forced and cringey.

Also crazy camera angles showing the backs / sides of people talking.

> Is some point being made there?

Yes! That everything is fine, everyone is happy and if you're not happy, then the only sane conclusion is that there's something wrong with you.

Have you never seen a video produced for or by a company before?
