Thank you very much for this e-mail I think we are moving along quite well once we all understand the same thing.
On the other script 'Tech Workshop', we want the drama and humour to bemore about the fact that these people are really afraid of technology.
Aum agree with your point and will try to find some more references and also will present you guys a new treatment ASAP.
While we like the reference you sent and the out-of-control movement, thehumour needs to be more subtle. For an example, think about the Testicular Cancer Support Group in Fight Club. It's funny because of the characters,not because of slapstick.
In another word, dark comedy that funny because of the characters but not because of the slapstick joks itselfs.
So it's about having characters like hippies,farmers, posh ladies, archeologists, etc. Anyone whio might be afraid of technology. Also, we need it to be part of a campaign with the MTR spot, soif it is too slapstick, it may not fit as part of the series (yes, we mayhave quite a few more coming up this year!).
We gets your point now and will work on a new treatment with shooting board ASAP and will present to you in first hand with some references attach on it.
Anyway, hope that gives you some better direction. Thanks for the hardwork!
We also really appreciate your kindness and your hardwork as well boss.
Please see the attachment regarding the reference that might answer your point.
Kindly regard,
Aum

Story Borad and Story Line
Adapt to advance tech
Open on PCCW Quad play device. A sign about a door reads ‘Learning to love the Future Workshop/Tonight’.
Inside, several people are sitting in a circle. They look like retro 60’s, hippies, archeologists, country bumpkins…etc. (The feeling just like they don’t accept the new technology into their lives. They look a bit disorientated, abnormal, dumb and dumber that you can see and feel it in the first second. We are still in working process in the costume matter.)
There’s a PCCW broadband terminal sitting on a table in the middle (which just like workshop with a tint of re-habitation or consultant in mental institution.)
Everyone gathers around it. (The table will spin around slowly just to gives the product a kick off.)
This is the story of quality and special feature of PCCW phone which will make all of the participants feels they involve in some kind of hallucination.
Tutor: This is just like ordinary TV in every household
The participants appear to be like they are in the flower fields with the nice breeze
(NB: Remember that they still hallucinate with this product)
Tutor: Alright…alright…everybody just calm down.
Tutor: It’s nothing new here. You don’t need to worry about too many cables to plug this thing in.
Some of participants hold the cable and tie around their necks or try to plug the cable at the empty wall or imaginary socket. Some of them even try to plug a cable in the wrong side of the phone and act like they were doing right. (They were all hallucinating and lives in their own world for cry out loud!!!)
