MMEA Fest

A group of teachers tries to hunt down Santa.

4/25 8:40 pm - Fun concept and it was cool to see your teachers at school come together to get it done. The narrative structure was simple, but made more complex by all of the characters you had to juggle. Nice work there keeping everything moving. The pace of the piece was excellent. The production value was good. Some good editing with J and L cuts to make the discussions more realistic. Shots were all mostly well composed and exposed. Focusing was mostly sharp. Work on mixing your audio. The raw audio was largely good, but the music was overpowering in a lot of places and the dialogue needed some additional enhancement and mixing. Consider using compression to boost your dialogue signals and to lower your overall music volume in the mix.
4/20 6:11 am - Opening music does a good job of capturing the viewer's attention. Camera shots were very well composed, especially at the beginning of the production. Dialogue was great. Good use of music choices and sound effects throughout the production. Very well done!
4/12 11:54 am - Teacher actors! Good job selling the narrative and buying into the performance. Some good j-cuts between actors delivering dialogue. Captured the "old-time" Chaplain-esque feel with the old film overlay and music. I liked the last shot with Santa's reflection in the window, nice touch to the ending!
