• 4/29 6:48 pm - I found thid quite humourous and also suspenseful. Nice use of sound, and great location choice (I love Water Street Studio). I thought the messaging was slightly confusing with the slogan - for the toughest jobs, but is stealing the banana a tough job, was it purposefully put up because they knew someone would try to steal it? I may be reading into this too much. Nice commercial!
• 2/25 12:11 pm - What a great concept for this product. While it does lack a little bit in the amount of production behind it, what you have here is both done well and tells a pretty good story. I would work on making this either 30 seconds or 60 Seconds. If this was 60 seconds long I think you could do more visually to tell the story of this gorilla. But I love the concept that you have here

Judge 1

Positives: The story was humorous. The sound and editing work were excellent quality.

Improvements: The lighting falls a bit short, it seems mostly practical (already there) a little accenting could have brightened it up and made the story more humorous. Camera work was all straight on, angles could increase drama.

Judge 2

Positives: Tight, cohesive concept that is clear to viewer Funny idea that spoofs on recent culture

Improvements: The lighting overall is a bit weak The flame ending isn't needed and feels like it's used because there was no other way to bring the edit to a natural conclusion.

Positives: Funny idea and I got the joke. Good concept. Nice sound work, with the subtle sirens in the distance.

Improvements: The explosion seemed out of place and it might have been funnier just to have the gorilla being arrested, or a short montage of shots where he can't get the banana loose. Also, maybe a super over the black before the end? It could have the same text that your VO is saying at the end, and then the punchline could have more room to breathe on it's own at the end.
