My sense of what Jake was doing was more of an experimentation than 
anything. Without some outside explanation, one would have a hard time 
saying what this film depicted, other than some collection of men (sic), 
some sitting at desks, presumably as part of some presentation, some 
clicking away at keyboards, and various others just hanging out.
There is no soundtrack other than music, no subtitles or text in frames 
to explain what is being shown.
One might consider it a proof of concept of using open source tools to 
put something like this together, and something to grow from, perhaps 
inspire others to do something more to their own taste.
