A video ad to promote Microsoft’s www.hey-genious.com, a recruiting site, parodies computer graphics from the 1980s that are used in the futuristic film that takes place in 3045. A Microsoft researcher invites prospective employees to work on technological projects, including a mind house, that don’t really exist, but are shown with the graphics.

The animation was composited and post processed in After Effects.
