Pi excels at clarifying a project's storytelling structure and engaging audiences with emotion and humor.
He believes that a barrage of micro-surprises (created by setting up and then subverting expectations) is one great way to an audience's heart (charm=audience engagement). He also believes in the power of music and reaction shots to guide a viewer's interpretation.
Key techniques: setup/payoff, cause/effect, 3 Act Structure.
In the workplace Pi uses collaborative dialogue as a problem-solving process as well as a sure-footed pathway to achieving his client's vision.
