    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79wohX3tRcM I filmed this short as a small satire of those deeply dramatized, moving short films that always win awards. Whenever I watch many of those films, this is what I actually feel like I'm watching, in a way. I hope somebody gets at least a small chuckle...

    What to do

    The one about the 6 friends getting superpowers sounds cool if you give it some time to breath (like, I'm guessing around 10 minutes for the final product, maybe) and character-driven. Like, you can establish their friendships and whatnot and show how the powers take that away from them. Here...

    Having trouble with first draft, help?

    FantasySciFi, I sent you a private message, but for some reason it doesn't say that I did. Did you get it? If you didn't, I took everything you said about the script, and changed it accordingly. I really liked your ideas, and they helped me a lot. But now when I read the script, it seems...

    Having trouble with first draft, help?

    I'm going to make a short film for a film festival, but I'm having some problems, and I'm not sure how to address them. I want this film to have one central theme: that all problems in life are trivial, and especially, TEMPORARY. That most problems in life won't last forever and you shouldn't...

    character Need help with story/character development!

    First of all, I think this is a great idea. I was literally smiling reading it, imagining the scene play out in my head. And, well, this seems like you should make it character based, just a bit. Write about these characters, don't just make them brainless cliches. After you write a little...

    character Help writing character?

    Thank you for your suggestions! You're right, and I've taken your advice for some (I would feel bad stealing all of your ideas!) of what you've said. I shifted the focus of the video (well, I'm rewriting it right now, so I'm SHIFTING the focus) to mainly show the relationship between the best...

    character Help writing character?

    I have to write a 5 minute (it can't be even a tiny bit over 5 minutes) short film for this film program class thing I'm in. I'm writing a draft right now loosely based on some small depression I've currently been having. My problem with this (1st draft) script is that, I feel like it rushes by...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqNKU6hTpP4 This was for my friend's project, she had to make a commercial under 3 minutes about any topic. I know the acting isn't great, and we had to use a crap camera (time restraints), and there are a couple awkward edits. All that matters is, do you guys...

    archived-videos Really Bad Audition

    I like the idea of this. However, a few suggestions: The audition just lasts too long. It stops being funny about halfway through. I'd rather watch the video if it was a minute long, it would be tighter and funnier throughout. The back-scratch joke..I just don't see that as being funny. I...

    archived-videos Presenting MAN MAN (full short sketch)

    No no, I really appreciated this post. I was kicking myself reading it, you're right! I was laughing the entire way through. That is true, the fact that he solved average problems kind of ruined the joke. If I could go back and remake this video with your suggestion, I would. Thank you for...

    archived-videos Presenting MAN MAN (full short sketch)

    It's all good, no need to apologize. But what could I have done to improve it? Or is it just not funny, period? I just want more insight on what could have been done to improve it, but I appreciate the honesty.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVizgS6843M I'm a student filmmaker, well I mean aspiring filmmaker. I've been making tiny little Youtube sketches for two years and this is my first finished "professional" sketch (I made it with a theater next to my school). Any thoughts? When I look back at it...
