I *think* the idea is that they know how they're perceived as being small and unpopular in the PC market, how people believe that almost no one has a Radeon card. So they show the little dude as feeling alone and BEING alone, but now with Vega coming AMD is saying (by showing all the drums ready to be played) "you won't be alone much longer, and we're ready for everyone willing to join us".
But man, their marketing has sucked for so long and it's not getting any better. I remember their video about a "Professional", it was as cringy as this one. I know they want to "hype" people up, but it's cringy as fuck to make these types of videos about hardware.
They would get better results of they just focused on the actual cards. If they made videos about the overhead improvements they made instead, people might be more interested. They spent all of 2016 (and part of 2015) making improvements on their DX11 overhead, and people don't hear about it. Looking at an old thread of someone comparing September drivers to August, there was an increase of 20% in single-thread and 10% in multi-thread draw calls per second. More recently, I saw someone test December drivers compared to November, and get a 20% increase in both single-thread and multi-thread. (Using API overhead test, DX11 results)
If they're gonna be honest and make a video like this one in which they admit no one thinks about them... Might as well be honest and say their overhead sucked. Only difference is we'll be curious to see the change in overhead. We're not curious about a little dude playing his drum. Or they could just copy Nvidia's marketing, since their team is at least competent, unlike AMD's.

I'm just not sure the audience of the video actually exists.
Vague videos like these are usually aimed at casual customers, who know very little and are simply willing to buy a product by giving you an emotional attachment to it. It works when you want to convince people to like the company making a phone, but not if you're trying to make them like the company making the processor of the phone. People who care about the actual hardware components don't judge which product to buy based on a hype video. So if someone knows about AMD and Nvidia, and if they know about Vega in particular, they're not gonna be swayed by this video.
So the audience for this product (desktop GPU, Vega) isn't the target of this type of video.
Had this been a 3D video rendered in real-time on Vega, that would have been cooler and a good teaser.

The videos are made for r/amd. That sub has become disgusting since polaris release. So many idiots, fanatics, shills spouting crap all over. It's even moderated by an AMD marketing guy i think it was + some other shill.
Anyway... slightly excited for vega , hoping it will rock but we'll see in a bit.

as a no-overklocking-person and amd user i am looking Forward to the vega Thing. i don't Need the fastest Thing. i dont have the Money for that anyway.
my opinion to the Video: just funny and the Hype is not too big. i like it. and: no Video, no Information at all( for strange People). the modern Internet selling Needs a Video.
why amd: all by one concern. gfx and cpu. i prefer this.
