Judge 1

Positives: Clever story Good camera shots

Improvements: More close ups Watch sound level when using the live audio

Judge 2

Positives: Clever idea and good job by performers. Nicely edited and shot. Enjoyed the live audio at the end with the music in background.

Improvements: Some framing and images could have been better composed.

Judge 3

Positives: Genuinely got a laugh out of me! A clever idea with good editing and a bunch of cool shots made this pretty enjoyable to watch all the way through. Also, the pace of the edit clean and precise, adding up to an overall solid piece!

Improvements: As a raw music video however, this kind of missed the mark. I felt that for this piece, the video and story came before music, (merely using "What is love" as a way to drive home the joke from "A Night at the Roxbury") Also, you covered your basics pretty well, (establishing shots, story arc, etc) and with a bit more creativity behind the camera (more interesting shots, maybe some effects and filtering) you could really bring your film making to the next level! You know how to tell a good story through film, but I want to see some creativity with your ability to craft a film!
