The Half-Cocked series was an experiment in trying to grow engagement through non-standard visual communication.
How many of these slow pan shot and close-up of the guns, now here are our founders acting as talking heads with dramatic contrast downlighting and darkened background and production floor B-roll video spliced in video treatments can you watch? That's essentially the standard visual communication package.
They tried something a bit off beat and humorous ... it didn't work out. Back to the standard package.
I can't fault them for trying to stand out. However, where I give PWS credit above all other is their old (pre-May) website design, visual treatment, and layout and photography assets.
It is by far the best in the business and one of the best product sites around. The new one isn't too bad either but I find scroll-over action items and menus annoying.
