• 4/25 9:21 pm - This was very funny. Strong choice for your lead actor.
• 4/25 9:28 am - Funny commercial! The viewer is taken through the whole process and it is easy to understand what services are advertised. It feels like you are right there with him during all three pickups! Great lighting, focus and framing throughout. The room noise at times is a little loud and the music level is lost during pizza scene, but overall great job!

Positives: great mix of visual storytelling and dialog storytelling - especially liked breaking the 4th wall and the on-camera talent talking to the screen. Strong editing - enhanced the comedy of the story!

Improvements: the texts on the screen while driving was a good idea but in reality, this probably would have been changed to share this part of the story differently. It looks like the car is in motion while the texts come in & are read. Might be a safety issue and brands that offer insurance to their drivers through their corporation (postmates, yelp, uber / lyft) might have legal issues with showing a text being read while the car is in motion while on duty - it's a liability. A bit more details on the establishing shot would have been helpful - is this a weekend night or a weeknight? Are those orders different? Including a timestamp in the text messages would have been helpful details to include in painting a clear picture.

Positives: There's a funny idea in here - nice job getting past the obvious benefits of Postmates (convenience) and telling a more entertaining story. Good, believable performance and funny copy. Nice job mixing direct-to-camera and observational shots. The muttering and self talk works really well in the edit.

Improvements: While the idea is very funny - you have to tread carefully since you also don't want to 'shame' Postmates customers for their purchases. You could spin it slightly to make it seem like you're on their side, and happy to do the legwork vs. being embarrassed by their purchases.
