    YouTube - The Fridge
    YouTube - New Neighbour
    YouTube - Hitman
    YouTube - The Job Interview


    Cheers,

    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Wot no fake muzzle flashes?

    "Two people talking in a room" should be anyone's directorial debut, and dammit if you haven't upped the stakes with more people and more room.

    Have to say, I laughed. Out loud a couple of times. You really should employ a black lesbian in a wheelchair who is passionate about climate change for comic effect.

    Some of the framing I "noticed" as being off to my tastes, but it's a comedy, who cares (obviously not your camera op ;-)

    Some of the audio I "noticed" as being off-mic, were you booming, or using lavs, or both? Or something else horrific that I dare not contemplate?

    Chaser's War On Everyhthing? Who needs it.

    Don't think me liking one single sketch is redemption for your earlier crimes against moviemaking. At least you have earned my clicks to your other youtube links ....... BRB

    The Fridge.
    WTF. I knew I should've quit after 90 seconds.

    New Neighbour.
    WTF. At least it was short.

    Hitman.
    Understood the joke. It didn't make me laugh. Too much Monkeydust and not enough Python.

    The Job Interview.
    WTF. I'm too old for this shit.

    You certainly have a style all of your own. I don't "get it" though, and a full show would be a victim of my attention deficit

    yep, your old nemesis is back...

    i laughed at the disabled thing in the first one..the rest were a bit of a waste of time. just because sketches don't make sense doesn't mean they are funny. and you've fucking blatently ripped of Jam, and you know you have.

    i actually liked the camera work though..everything cut together nicely. It all looked a bit short-film-y though. If you watch any sketch shows on TV (Snuff Box, Man Stroke Woman, Jam, Peep Show even) they probably don't have a huge amount more than you in the way of equipment (I assume you shot on HDV, which isn't a million miles away from DigiBeta quality) but they have good production values and a decent grade. you'll struggle to find anyone that will take you seriously until you stop making stuff that looks like a student university project.

    you've got some fairly decent actors there, you should give them something good to do.

    BUT, i'm with Miker, it's much better than the jism I'm used to from you chaps [img]smile.gif[/img]
