Presenting your ideas is an important part of most, if not all, high complexity works. If you're an engineer - present your ideas and results, so you can get better feedback, if not more appreciation. If you're a product person, explain the results to practically anybody - improves conversations which lead to better mutual understanding. For executives it's even more straightforward - remember how many hours Steve Jobs spent preparing demoing first iPhones?

What you describe is the type of stuff that is largely unimportant. This is not a commercial for a retail product, it is for an unapplied manufacturing technique. It doesn't mater who you wow with this stuff. It has an application or it doesn't. In fact, for all the good this video does, they should have just wrapped an egg it the stuff and dropped in from a building. 15 seconds of potentially viral video would have done a better job than this video. The video is fine for telling an engineering story, however. She and the hack videographer did a fine job for a low-stakes presentation. It's fine, really
