@sijiapitts please see the example provided at the top of this issue. The current mockup is not dynamic. The example has movement in the design so that when the person is speaking it draws your attention to them in a way that makes them seem powerful

The mockups you provided have our logo and colors but are appearing flat, so it covers the requirement of being professional, but it's not dynamic or interesting. I have sent this to the Research Team for feedback as well.

Don't feel overly constricted by our colors. Maybe look at the new homepage design for inspiration.

Also, if you don't have time for this, feel free to move it back to the prioritized backlog, in order, and remove yourself from it.

Unassigning myself from this issue. I don't think I have the skillset to make animated/video zoom backgrounds.
