Backpack Picnic

Post by shando »

Hey gang, Backpack Picnic, which is the Edmond Bulldogs but with Jeremy and I more officially in the cast, has now gone live on OnNetworks. It's being shot in HD, and damn it looks good. It's not being officially released for a couple more weeks, but go take a sneak peak. Also, watch the sketch Spin and spot your friends in it.

Awesome, indeed. Way to go, guys - I'm really looking forward to seeing more!

(Aside: hey, that's the flash video player that I built - if you find it to suck in any way, let me know, and I'll see about making it less sucky.)

ditto. And put them on spread shirt -- there is a market for good design minus the relavance and this design stands out (a la Hello Kitty).

I've been saying we should also have a Backpack Picnic T-shirt that makes it look like the wearer is sporting a backpack on their front.

It's more hilarious than even my high expectations expected it to be.

I sing the theme at the end with Dave and Rene, and I'm pretty sure that's Jeremy that I'm eating.
They call me Dollar Bill 'cause I always make sense.
