This is the Trailer for Max Neptune & The Menacing Squid!!!

Pretty cool eh?
What if I was to tell you that this was a film made by 2 awesome guys (and their crew) from Whittier, Ca. with nothing but a fairly good camera and decent greenscreen?
Yup. Thought so. Close your mouth, you look silly with it hanging down. (Plus you’re drooling saliva on me!)
Oh yea, I forgot to mention that they casted their actors, found their makeup artist, and began promoting MN all on Myspace(dot)com.
This is true indy cred here. David slaying Goliath, in this case, the little guys are about to topple the Giant Beast that is Hollywood. I’ve been excited about this project ever since my friend Colin first started on it.

Max Neptune is the brainchild of my pal Colin Fleming and John Garside. MN is very reminiscent of the olden SCI-FI serials of Hollywood’s early years such as: Commander Cody, Flash Gordon, and comic strip serials like Dan Dare.

If you ask me, I think this is way better (and has more of a sense of humor) than Kerry Conran’s Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.

I met Colin back during our days at Calarts, and even then was impressed by his animation and storytelling.
I am very honored to know him, and know that Max Neptune will explode once it comes out.
Mark my words.
I’m going to be breaking this feature on Max Neptune into parts, because Colin supplied me with a girth of wonderful behind the scenes material that includes: props, concept designs, cgi models, pics on set, etc.
(When are you guys coming out with the behind the scenes or Making of Max Neptune book guys?)
Colin and John made an appearance at the San Diego Comic-con recently, passing out DVD Trailers of MN to some very lucky folks.
Were you one of them?

I sure hope so.
