We made a short showreel to explain what we do at Baird Media, and how we do it, with actual examples from our work.
I also added a few slides so it’s easier to follow, and a bit more watchable than a plain talking head.

I found this polished and on point. The dark humour woven in to Oddiver du Toit’s inner dialogue, what a treat. At times I even got a little bit David Lynch and a smoky cigar lounge. And the Lena twist, was the biggest heart felt twist of all. It’s just perfect.

A podcast documentary is an innovative way to explain a concept or idea to your ideal client. Instead of yet another (boring) interview, let's examine something through the medium of audio, using various techniques. Holler so we can set up a chat.
