Yo guys,

So my crew down at Loyola Marymount film school wanted to put together an edit for us. Basically we wanted to start a pilot production concept behind creating these characters with the speakers.

I wanted to ask you guys to just check it out and maybe stir up some ideas for what you might do to help build the identity or just fun/stupid things to do with these....

There's a lot of creativity on this forum, so I figured you guys would be good to ask.

Yeah, they're little water resistant portable speakers that I designed. They also have a built on clip so you can take them everywhere.... I just kinda thought that nobody makes a legit lil' portable speaker fit to my lifestyle. I was customizing vinyl toys and riding bike/skate/snow when I got this skull toy and turned it into a mini speaker like BOOOOOM

Looks great!  I know a few people from LMU film school.  They graduated about 5ish years ago tho... 

Have you considered contacting the company about doing a commercial?  You'd be surprised at what might happen.  A few friends and I did a commercial for Microsoft last summer that raised quite a few eyebrows... Check it out:

They're $49.99 on our website. THey're pretty hard to come by as we just got them out in April. Mostly we have them at a bunch of shops in Mammoth, LA, and Tahoe and we work with Algid Film crew out in Colorado. PM me and I'll hook it up with an NS discount on 'em.

I was the Assistant Director.  My housemate was the Director.  We flew up a DP from LA who had a Redone and Zeiss Primes, and we also flew up the Double Rainbow Guy, aka Paul Vasquez, aka hungrybear.  We shot in Seattle.  Good fun.

Do you know Adam Leao? He's got a crew of kids that worked on it with him... We also work with Chris McKleroy (ns: alpineplease) who is LMU alumni.
