Judge 1

Positives: The theme was interesting and has great potential.

Improvements: Lighting was too dark. Devil audio was weak in the opening. I didn't feel the dialog was not thought out and they were at times winging it. Don't be afraid to reshoot scenes if you don't feel in your gut that it flowed. Even a good scene should be reshot a few times. Script is weak and too many jump cuts. Might have been funny if the devil was in an executive office with an assistant taking on more of the dialog. I also felt that part of the intention of this was to mock religion and offend and I'm not one to seek out ways to be offended like so many others are in our hyper sensitive world!

Judge 2

Positives: The acting wasn't too bad. I enjoyed the characters. The dialog between characters felt right.

Improvements: If you don't have lights and not enough ambient light for an image, postpone your shoot. The intro to one of the most important scenes would have been pretty good...just couldn't see it. The editing was very choppy. The style of this video needed to have a smooth flow with one shot leading to the next. It felt a little ping pong at times.

Judge 3

Positives: Funny concept, but writing is self indulgent

Improvements: Not a good voice of actor for the devil, auto iris is their enemy...Texas accent of priest overdone...poor editing overall
