Anti-climactic, dragged on for too long, and all in all it was kind of dull and predictable. The presentation was detrimental to the overall effect, there was no real change in pacing and the joke has just been done before - "oh man, you totally misunderstood what I was saying!". But you know...

With such a hard location to record audio in, it wouldn't be such a terrible idea to dub it over with audio recorded in a better location. Or, you know, buy a shotgun mic - they're pretty good when the only noise you want to get is a person talking. They basically exclude any audio not coming...

Good point. It'd make sense to just experiment during set up to see what works.

I'm not really very good at using lighting - in fact, a lot of my previous efforts with a camera have always been scrapped because I'm just incredibly terribly at lighting scenes properly (and I'm a tad obsessive about the quality of shots). For my first, proper short film, I decided to actually...

Oh wow! I was going to pass this off as just another film, but then as soon as Humpty Dumpty showed up it became one of the best videos I've seen on this site! Back when I was trying to nail down the exact differences between amateur and professional films, I noticed it was mainly to do with...

Nice shots, smooth editing. The only thing I'd say is that the change in tone from Julie introducing herself in the first shot to the title shot was a bit too much, but after that point it stays consistent, so it's perfectly fine. I also wondered why there would be a shot of the people who got...

This was shot a lot better than the 'Rachael's Play', but I'd say the acting for the waiter was AGAIN way too much, and the script just terribly wrong. It just didn't seem funny. In fact, the second restaurant scene was just bad - the waiter, again, seemed way too much, and the script was too...

Needlessly shaky camera at the beginning, and the production logo could probably have some work done to it. The acting was a tad too much, and the ex-boyfriend seems to mess up the timing on his lines quite a lot. The shot cuts with the time jumps in the cinema were pretty off-tone. The ending...

Those guns, at least one of them, was obviously a water gun. And the burning of the flag? Very overused. Nice showcase of effects, but a fairly cliché story that doesn't really have much original to keep me interested. Even the shots were all based around the showcashing of the action as...

The actors were pretty good, and it felt a lot like... I want to say either The Office or Teachers. The car scene seemed at tad off. I think it would have been improved if you simply didn't use the music. I think one of the major problems with the entire thing was the conflict between actors -...

Holy crap that's some nice art. Saying that, expecting to get $12,000 invested by Monday July 25th is a bit steep, considering at the moment it's only at $1,010 right now. It does look like a very nice project though, and it has some pretty good bonuses for pledging. Good luck with the project!

Invest in an external microphone. From the sounds of things, you're using the in-built microphone of your camera. Rode VideoMic: http://www.amazon.co.uk/RODE-ROD-VIDEOMIC/dp/B0007U9SOC Zoom H1: http://www.amazon.com/Zoom-H1-Portable-Digital-Recorder/dp/B003QKBVYK/ I suggest getting the Zoom H1...

Oh okay, it's a mockumentary then? I'll keep an eye on it then, it's just the tone switched completely from the trailer to this mini-episode and I was confused as to what was actually happening. Good to know you intend to take the episodes somewhere beyond "guy in an RV".

I meant the audio in the first few shots, where they're on the hill and not in the RV. The quality of sound in the RV was fine. And sure, the wind to let them know there's wind makes sense, if there was loud music overshadowing those shots anyway making the wind just seem inappropriate to leave...

Probably a very good idea to clean up the audio in the opening shots, especially seeing as the music plays over it the majority of the time - the wind sounds just aren't needed. The narrator seems unnecessarily bored and disattached from the thing's he's saying, making it feel like he's reading...

Very nice, but I'm not exactly sure what I just watched, aha :) I was half expecting the box to look down, see the paper all over the room, and scream for it's fallen brethren. But still, nice, if yet confusing :)

Very nice short! The actors were perfectly cast, their lines were read well and it was actually entertaining! But to echo what Murdock said, you could probably do with losing the voiceover and words on screen at the end of the video. They don't add anything. If you want the title of the film in...

Well, it certainly looks interesting! Found it funny when the bald-bearded guy came on and I thought "Hey, that looks like Zack Galifianakis!" - and then the fully bearded guy came running around the corner and totally looked even more like him. I'll be keeping an eye on this! (no homo)

The problem remains, arrodiii. That's why noone's responded.

Exaggeration is only appropriate for over-the-top comedy, with films like Dumber and Dumber (not sure if that's the right name). Some people have brilliant careers in over-the-top acting like that, but they more often than not don't rely on it - Jim Carrey, for instance. More often than not...
