[Title]

Engineer - USA

[Ryan]

I’m Ryan and I’m a senior operations support engineer in the Gulf of Mexico.

[Video footage]

Close-up footage of Ryan speaking into the camera, seen against the background of an office interior.

[Ryan]

I’m somebody who really likes community and I like putting down roots. I feel like at Shell, one of the things that strikes out to me the most is the community of people. Yeah, I could see myself working at Shell for the rest of my career.

[Video footage]

Panning bird’s eye view of an oil platform in deep water, cutting to low-angle footage of the four-column hull of the platform, seen against deep blue sky. Two still shots of Ryan posing for the camera, wearing her Shell-branded safety suit, successively transition into and out of frame; in the first, she is on the platform deck with blue sea and sky in the background, and in the second, she is in an interior group shot with colleagues. We cut to an extreme close-up of Ryan’s face as she breaks into a broad smile. Next, we see slightly wider-angle footage of Ryan and other young Shell employees seated together in reception-style chairs in an open office environment; as they talk together, the shot cuts to a close-up of one of the young men in the group laughing. Close-up footage of Ryan speaking into the camera, as before.

[Ryan]

I don’t care about coming up with a new flavour of chip. I don’t care about coming up with a new scent of shampoo. Those aren’t things that drive me.

[Video footage]

We cut to wide-angle footage of Ryan seated on a window ledge, holding a tablet on her lap and looking out through the window, where we see buildings, water and green vegetation.

Wide footage of a small rural shop at night, surrounded by darkness; lights illuminating the interior and immediate exterior of the small shop are extinguished one by one, leaving only darkness.

We see high angle footage of a protesting crowd, and superimposed over this footage, we see horizontally scrolling text relating to social justice, the text appearing grainy, as though displaying on a flickering screen.

[Ryan]

My hope would be that everybody has power that they can access to meet all of their needs, regardless of your geography, regardless of your gender, regardless of your race, that you would have the tools that you need to be able to do what you want in life.

[Video footage]

Close-up footage of Ryan speaking into the camera, as before. Low-angle footage of sun streaming through the foliage of a tree, forming a halo.
