- 4/23 1:25 pm - Successful - Fun characters and good concept. The acting is good and the accents are generally believable. Nice camerawork and movement. A few good jokes for fans of dry, dialog-based humor. Snappy pace and high energy, which is the result of a strong cast and camera crew. Needs Work - This ultimately feels like a film and more like a play, or possibly a drama class assignment. There is really no story to speak of, but more so just 5 scenes for character studies of these three sisters. It looked like a lot of fun for these actresses, and probably for friends and family who got to see them portray these silly characters, but to outsiders there isn't much to keep the audience watching for 4 and a half minutes. On that note, maybe a shorter version is the way to go, or to write a new script with these characters that has a stronger structure.
- 3/6 11:46 am - The first commentI have to say is that the camera panning is very distracting and almost makes me queasy as I watch it. I would rethink how you produce this scene. Maybe less panning or more actual whippans. I'm not quite sure what the story is here either. This being a film category I think the story needs to have more of a plot than just three sisters sitting down having a discussion. FIlm needs to be visually funny more so than funny with words.
