First Meeting

Today I was invited to Wieden + Kennedy London to meet the production team responsible for making the Thriller headphones a reality. I met with Tom Seymour and David Bruno of Wiedens and Nick Mines and Nigel from ATOM. We discussed how the headphones will be manufactured, the materials used and special features like moving parts and lights. It was all very exciting, the whole discussion was filmed for a documentary. Check out the pics below. Lots of tea drinking and beard scratching!




Nick Told me that he plan's to sculpt the headphones in wax, then cast this to make a plastic version which will then be hand painted. Later this month I hope to visit Atom to see some of this happening.
