Toms Shoes video shoot.

I received an e-mail that TOMS Shoes was going to be coming to campus to shoot a promo video. It was going to be right after one of my classes, when I normally eat lunch, but I decided to skip lunch and go anyway.

Everyone who wanted to be in the video had to sign a release form. We were split into groups and spread out in a small area. Blake Mycoskie, the founder and CEO of Toms, was going to push a giant tube up the walkway, and we just had to walk up to him and listen to him. He was giving a preview about the next chapter of Toms, and we clapped and responded when appropriate.

We shot footage for about an hour. After we were done shooting, Eagle Vision interviewed him, as well as The Chimes. However, he had to leave pretty quickly, because he had a meeting to go to. But before we left, he announced that we would all be getting a free pair of Toms!

I even got a photo with Blake!

The video just came out last week, and only 15 seconds of it is the footage from Biola. You can see me for about one second. But hey! It was still a lot of fun. I’m still waiting to hear about my shoes, too.

Here’s the video:
