• 3/7 10:48 am - Concept is laugh-out-loud funny. Nice work with stop motion animation. Actors are committed to the over-the-top style of this piece. The editing pace movies quickly and adds to the humor. Voiceover effectively helps tell the story. The fonts used are basic and I would encourage you to find fonts that complement the tone of the trailer. Could benefit from use of lights--dramatic lighting could add to the humor.
• 3/6 4:51 pm - Very funny parody trailer. The cheeziness was there in full force and kudos to you guys for embracing and going for it. Good job of using different angles and POVs of the snakes. From a story perspective, this needed another layer. Yes, I get, it's just snakes in an editing lab, but I wanted to know a bit more about at least one of the characters. What is he trying to render and why does it matter? Some additional backstory would have helped to make the humor pay off a bit more.

Judge 1

Positives: - Good use of the classic trailer voice-over cliche - creative use of stop motion

Improvements: - this is more of a 30 second teaser trailer - what other aspects of the story can you tell? what about the characters? who are they?

Judge 2

Positives: Funny! Great use of stop motion.

Improvements: While the idea is suppose to be cheesy the titles and graphics weren't cheesy enough. They look too simple. Go all out crazy next time.
