Devon Harris: concepting

notes

The proposed webisodes would feature a new salesperson being guided through the mysterious "Building 7" by the equally enigmatic sodapop-delivery man. Within each room, a difficult concept would be embodied in a metaphor: In this webisode, the idea of virtualization is explained via a "hamster wrangler" who discovers that he can use a single hamster to control several robot copies. ("Building 7" is a Microsoft in-joke: despite the campus having several dozen buildings, there is no building numbered 7.)
