YouTube Special, definitely. You need lights for your interior scenes, at minimum reflectors or bounce cards for your exteriors, consider doing voice-overs for your vocal tracks and lots more camerawork. Student film at best right now.</p> <p>On the other hand, a clever idea with lots of potential. Do as Grinner said, 'keep shooting'. Push the envelope with this thing. Believe it or not, 'Average' has a lot of lattitude and you can make this thing the hilarious series it could be, if you go out to the edges with your writing. Pro? Not yet. But the potential is there so you're ahead in the game.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/my-first-professional-short-film-thoughts#post-70504 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 14:52:56 +0000 grinner 70504@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I hope nobody spent money on that. Keep shooting, keep loving it, and keep growing. Looks like you had fun making it. Never lose that.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/my-first-professional-short-film-thoughts#post-70491 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 06:40:07 +0000 MediaFish 70491@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Not to be too harsh but - what makes this a professional short film?  Did some one pay you to film and produce it?  Again, not to be harsh but you state - "When I watch it, my only change would be to add more jokes" - really?  What about sound, color balance, lighting, acting, the truck engine that starts out of nowhere as Man Man leaves on his scooter, the female coughing at the end of the joke or her bad wig she is wearing?  My thought is that it needs a lot of work - sorry I am sure that wasn't what you wanted to hear but you asked. </p> <p>I am really curious though why you think this is\should be considered a professional film.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/my-first-professional-short-film-thoughts#post-70480 Thu, 25 Aug 2011 15:20:35 +0000 TheAnthonyYa 70480@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi, I'm a student filmmaker who's new to these forums. I've been making shitty little short videos for two years, but at the end of the last school year I worked with a production theater next to my school to make this sketch. And I'm just looking for opinions on it.</p> <p>When I watch it, my only change would be to add more jokes. The video is basically one long joke, but if I could change it I would add more jokes in general. But yeah, thank you for any criticism or whatnot!</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVizgS6843M">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVizgS6843M</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/shotgun-vs-lavalier#post-46181 Sat, 25 Apr 2009 20:13:23 +0000 Ferragui 46181@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> If someone clicks on the link it will show you as first option a joke with masks, the example I wanted to show is the second video the actual "sketch"</p> <p>thanks</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/shotgun-vs-lavalier#post-46180 Sat, 25 Apr 2009 20:08:54 +0000 Ferragui 46180@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Please help, I am starting a local TV show, it is about sketches either outdoors or indoors (inside a house or restaurant not studio), I have </p> <p>a GL2 and PD170 with its Sony Shotgun and Audio Technica ATR55 shotgun and Azden WR Pro lavalier.
