The concept of a tiny missile that could be launched from the toe of a boot immediately made me smile. My initial thought went immediately James Bond-style spy gear. When I thought through it further though the military angle became the most obvious solution.
While very short, the video creates the impact that we desired. The video was created with just a few bits of stock footage from Story Blocks. The Missile launch was also stock footage of a rocket launch over a green screen that we keyed out. I would have liked to create a custom animation to make the rocket go on a better trajectory, but budgets were very limited.

Hahaha I love the concept. Shooting a missile from the toe could revolutionize the whole military. Even though I am not a fan of the whole weapon and war thing, the concept could be used for other toe applications. For example a Beertoe that shoots beer from the toe. Would be a great equipment for festivals and parties haha
Thanks for the article mate, short and fun. Love it
Hey there! I liked this a lot! The military has always been an interesting theme to explore with videos. These 22 seconds of video take a lot of work. I like the final result. The timing is perfect, and the beat puts us in the right mind frame. Thank you for sharing. I will follow you for more videos like these!
Thank you!
One thing I will say is that your article is quite short. You will maybe want to look into making it longer just so you can attract more people to your website. People love reading so it will definitely attract more customers. Other than that, it is a well-written article.
I agree it’s on the short side. It’s just a matter of time, do I spend my time working on the next paying project or put more time in the article. For long term success I should probably spend a little more time on the write-ups. Thank you for the advise.
This made me giggle. I can just imagine the accidents in the mess room, especially after the guys have been out on a drinking binge. Just a friendly kick up the butt could lead to so many other things. Liked the video though.. did make me stop and laugh. I am guessing the shoes would be more practical than stylish though lol.
This was a lot of fun. The Christmas idea pulled me in so the video was a great surprise. I can think of a few applications for this like 4th of July fireworks and party poppers. Did “Get Smart” have something like this in his shoe? You did a good job putting the stock footage together. The whole thing seemed real. You should list the Mistle Toe as a great holiday “stocking stuffer.” I love it.
It’s a play on words, its so funny. I greatly enjoyed this one. Thank you for the post. I think the video is made really good, I would never have thought it’s stock stuff. How cool is that.
I love it, and I had a good well deserved giggle too. Thank you
LOL! this is hilarious. What a great way to have a Christmas blow out. This is a great video for our soldiers that will not be spending christmas at home. A little will really help them celebrate the festive season away from there families. Thank you for laugh. Looking forward to seeing the net video. Keep em coming.
