Studio originals

Short films we made for ourselves

Four films from the existing Neon Bamboo Labs studio library, each with a lesson for a small business. These are our own studio originals, not client work and not client results.

Films

  • Original 01

    Skateboard Monkey

    A skateboard-riding monkey puts an unexpected character into a familiar street-sport setup. The title gives the audience a clear visual premise before the short begins.

    Lesson: A product does not have to interrupt every film. Standalone entertainment can give a content mix room to breathe without making a promise about reach.

    Alligator at the DMV — Social Short

    An alligator in the everyday world of the DMV turns a recognizable errand into a comic mismatch. The contrast between character and setting supplies the story's starting point.

    Lesson: Start with a familiar situation, then change one thing. For a service business, an ordinary customer question can become a fictional scene rather than another sales announcement.

    Bird Court — Social Short

    Bird Court brings an animal cast into the recognizable conventions of a courtroom. Its premise shows how a familiar genre can make an unusual world easy to understand.

    Lesson: Borrow a genre's structure, not someone else's characters or footage. A hearing, mystery or competition can give your own original idea a clear beginning and resolution.

    Raccoon Restaurant — Social Short

    Raccoon Restaurant pairs an animal character with a restaurant setting. It is an original entertainment short, separate from the studio's business-service demonstrations.

    Lesson: A setting can do narrative work. For a restaurant, the rhythm of service or the care around a dish can become part of a fictional story without inventing customer testimonials.
