Positives: The onscreen graphics were super great to add a stylistic visual element to the film and make the different titles really stand out. It not only showcases a technical skill, but gives a lot of character to the piece and works well with the music as well. A lot of the titles were also pretty funny, nice work on those. The music and the slight distortion of the narration worked well for this short, almost PSA-like piece.

Improvements: I wish there would have been a longer and more intricate intro. I wanted more than just the one shot of the boys in the kitchen - I would have loved to see a mini show open cut that either incorporated more shots of them cooking, or had a few shots of other past episodes that could've added to the humor and also helped to establish what kind of show this is. Some of the color correction differences between shots felt a bit too drastic. Certain shots were pretty contrasty and saturated, and they felt way warmer than some of the other, more natural looking shots. Having the shots have a more cohesive color grade/temperature would've just helped the piece feel more polished.

Judge 2

Positives: Great use of onscreen visual effects and title design to make the scenes more interesting. The story is concise and well produced, conveying the purpose of the film in a short amount of time.

Improvements: The plot and character development of the story could be complicated further to enhance the narrative 'how to' quality of the film and make the film more entertaining. The context of the film could be better articulated? Why this film? Is this part of a series?

Positives: I like the shots and the graphics of the video. Really good editing and shot variation. I find the video very funny and creative. I like the ideas that are present.

Improvements: There is no link to the characters. What makes the two of them the Masculine driving? There is not back story here, and that makes it tough for the viewer to connect with them.
