- 3/24 9:40 am - Works well - Very cool idea that's interesting and unique. I like how it uses the format of a sitcom and then shifts the tone. It's confusing, but in a good way because it mimics the experience of the character. This rides a fine line between dark comedy and horror, which is exciting to watch. Ultimately this falls into more of an experimental category because it's meta and post-genre, but that's OK. Needs work - Some of the style choices feel too disjointed, even through intentional. The story structure didn't feel strong enough, and more focus was put on style/mood over story.
- 3/2 2:14 pm - Audio levels are inconsistent. I liked the use of canned laughter to help establish the sitcom genre.The story got very dark toward the end. Comedy category?
- 2/21 3:03 pm - Camera: shots seemed very static Lighting: lighting seemed sufficient, but it also looked like you just used the available lighting in the room. Sound: right off the bat, your audio levels were too hot. Watch your VU meter. Dialogue, sound effects, and music all have to be mixed appropriately. Your sound was very inconsistent. Editing: the editing pace was fine Story: this story reminded me of something I’d see on Adult Swim. It was weird and mildly disturbing, like something that should have been in the Drama category.
