Draft. Sharief. Engineer - USA.
[Video footage]
A city landscape at sunrise. A line of sky-scrapers is silhouetted against an orange and blue sky, whilst thick clouds billow above them. The city is in semi-darkness and the street-lights are still lit.
Interview with Sharief
[Title]
Draft.
[Video footage]
Head and shoulders shot of Sharief being interviewed by an off-camera interviewer. He’s wearing a smart, grey suit. There follows a distant shot of an oil-rig surrounded by a blue ocean, then two mid-distance photographs of Sharief on the rig. The first shows him smiling at the camera, wearing a dark red uniform with a Shell logo. The second is of Sharief and three colleagues, also on the oil-rig, all wearing white hard-hats and smiling. We’re then back to the interview footage of Sharief.
[Sharief]
I’m Sharief. I’m a deep oil wells engineer. What makes me tick is helping other people and making my mark on the world in a positive way. Leaving the world in a better condition than when I joined.
[Video footage]
Footage of Sharief walking across a long suspension bridge, the sunlight hitting his face. He is crossing a wide river and we see other people also crossing the bridge. In the background is the London Eye, several large tower blocks and a red double-decker bus. Then we’re taken back to the head and shoulders shot of Sharief’s interview.
[Sharief]
My passion stems from coming to the realisation that energy and environment are two of the biggest things that we have to get right if we plan to move forward in a sustainable manner.
[Video footage]
We see a slideshow of photographs. The first is of Sharief’s graduation, where he poses for his photograph with his family wearing a black gown and hat. The next is of Sharief being presented with a certificate, and then a third shows him wearing his red Shell uniform on the rig again. We see a distant shot of a large group of Shell workers. They’re all wearing the same red uniform and white hard-hats, standing on the oil rig and waving at the camera. Then mid-distance footage shows more workers shaking hands and chatting.
[Sharief]
In college, I was pretty sceptical actually about coming to work for Shell. I think one of the things that struck me first was how people-focused it was and how people really truly did care about energy transition.
[Video footage]
Close-up footage of a large, white wind turbine in the ocean. We see the turbine from a bird’s eye view and then from the front, where more turbines can be seen in the background. A digitalised image of a landscape rapidly being covered with rows of solar panel follows. There are also several pylons in the field and then we see a close-up shot of the panels with the sun beaming down from above.
[Sharief]
People are still figuring it out. It’s not perfect, but it’s not going to happen overnight. It’s about doing it in a morally sound way or in a conscientious way.
[Video footage]
Indoor footage of Sharief chatting with co-workers. They are sitting on comfortable chairs, each wearing a Shell branded lanyard and smart clothing. Then we’re back to Sharief’s interview again.
[Sharief]
I mean, it’s really inspiring to be working for a company that’s already making a difference. That’s my drive for working for Shell.
