Depressed Scientist · Sep 22, 2015

Hi
We are two students who decided to make a fictional YouTube-series. The series tells a story of a disappointed scientist who is drawn into unexpected events. We started with no experience at all, but we have now managed to publish the first episode and would appreciate any comments that you may have.

The link is:

Thank you.

I enjoyed the visuals and poetic nature of the monologues. Looking forward to the next.

This has tons of potential. Shot well, clever device, nice tension at the end.

Could've cut to the chase a little quicker. Sure, there's warmup but there's too much warmup. Keep going, it has potential to be really strong.

Thank for the kind words! And you are absolutely right about the slow start...we actually struggled with that our selves. We aim at "unleashing the fury" in episode 2

Oh thank you! Episode 3 is in the making. We are trying to go epic with it because it will end the first ACT. We also post some series related new in our facebook account.

We do have some positive feedback but the thing that has troubled us the most is the "no face" style. Nobody seems to say anything about it. Maybe people get used to it pretty fast I guess. How did you feel about it?

Good and original for the first episode.

For the second, it started to be a negative.
