  • 4/19 11:12 am - Successful - This had a good concept. Following the Crew mockumentary-style was an interesting choice to expose some of the inside jokes and humor you were going for here. Needs Work - Overall, this fun wasn't very funny. It did include a lot of the personal jokes that I'm sure you and the Crew laugh at together, but to an outsider, it generally falls flat. The vomit joke was kind of gross. We really didn't learn too much about the sport, either. On the technical side, the production value could have been improved.
  • 3/6 11:32 am - The overall film lacks a basic plot structure. It has a mockumentary feel, but it never really goes anywhere. The audio throughout the film needs music work done. I would like to see more creative use of lightning and editing. As a filmmaker, you want to show that you can handle the overall production of a film and that means how you use lighting...very important.
