411 ‘Industry’ profiles were essentially the prototype for web released team promos that now drop at an all too frequent rate. Back in the 90’s when company produced videos dropped only a couple of times per year, these short Industry sections were the perfect way for a company to showcase their team and give the waiting global audience a glimpse at the visual aesthetic of their brand without having them wait several years for their next full length video release.
