  • 4/23 11:00 am - Some really fun bits here. Pretty clear that you all had a good time making this, which is always nice to see. The performances are good, and I enjoyed each little scenario. I’m not sure how much of a story you have here. Was it an introduction to your variety show? It was really well-made and you had a big cast. Nice work all around. I had a lot of fun watching! Keep up the great work!
  • 4/22 1:59 pm - This was a lot of fun and a huge undertaking with so many people. The pool and flippers shot was fantastic. The pool must have taken some great planning and coordination, both to get approval and to make the shots and action happen. Some of your actors were fantastic, all were committed and that takes a great crew and vision. And the various memories were really entertaining and well-composed and well-lit. The spoons sequence was marvelous, the dance group was a lot of fun, the marriage was really funny, and the overall group had a fun and energetic vibe that made the pace and group bounce off the screen. Well done! Some of the transitions between the “real world” and the past experiences could be more clear. For instance, when we return to the group before the “Promiscuous Girl” bit, it wasn’t clear those 3 actors were part of the original group. This could be resolved by showing an “Establishing Shot” when we return, like an exterior of the school or a wide shot of the commons where the kids are hanging out and then always starting each “vision from the night before” with an establishing shot of that location, just to always let the viewer know where they are in the world and in time. Sitcoms do this between every scene and it’s a great model to copy. Keep up the fantastic work!
