IT and security are not the most interesting of subjects. From that standpoint imagine having to produce training or companywide information based on the subject people most least want to hear about.

I worked recently with a company who have made that their speciality and won awards in Security and IT training through drama and comedy. Making sure the message gets home and is embedded where it is intended is what Twist and Shout do.

After a prep-talk to his employees about the maluse of security throughout the company and the blatant display and password abuse, culprit #1 attempts to EAT, Hide, and destroy evidence of her ever falling foul of such simple security abuse.

The images I was commissioned to produce were to illustrate the same issues the video were covering. These are produced as an aside to the video production so setup needed to be fast and scenarios shot whilst other cast are rehearsing or being directed. It’s not always easy, especially with the time constraints but we always end up with great images.

What starts out as a simple poster shot degenerates into an improvisation which although not suitable for the clients purposes illustrates just why working with professionals can still get the job done despite the time pressures and the harrowing schedule. A good sense of humour helps too, especially for a comedic drama.

Just sent your company database out unencrypted? Sent a company email to clients ? How do you handle it and where can you go to avoid the Flack? Our hero thinks that keeping a low profile and having a desk to hide under might be his saving grace.

Somewhere to hide
