Yeah...

The only funny part was when the dog came out of the shower.

[Spastic]

That was pretty horrible, you should try to be funny next time.

[P0K3M0N_MA5T3R]

I chuckled at it but mostly at how stupid you looked. the bits that were funny where the dog coming out and the guy randomly tipping Coke all over himself.
My biggest complaint is that it made no sense, it's like he goes into his bathroom then random shit happens. A little explanation in the video details would be nice.

[RocketSauce]

There is no story. There is no point. Spastic is not impressing me.

Lighting- couldn't you at least turn on a light with some decent bulbs? Does that camera only have automatic settings? The obvious changes as the camera decides exposures isn't exactly a good technique to include.

White Balance- sound familiar? I doubt it.

Jarring Cuts- cutting without changing angles or subject is an easy way to say 'I didn't think about this at all while making it'.

Succinctness- things aren't funny when we have to wait five seconds for a reaction. Specifically, the first conversation in the video; it should have cut back quickly, and blending audio from the takes would have added to continuity and made it go faster.

Audio- I'm not even sure what to say for this. Just a tiny bit of effort in isolating wanted sounds is better than nothing, which is what this seems to have.

Stupid Things- your friend or you making silly faces might seem like a good idea to you and your friend, but not to an audience who judges based on what we see rather than 'hey look, we're on the screen!'.

Good Things- ...

I don't think having no story and whatnot is always terrible, but no matter how random and absurd something is there has to be something holding it together- some thread of concept. This doesn't have that. You have some decent ideas that could probably develop well if there were a little bit of effort put into delivering them or thinking them through. I'm not being critical just to be an ass, although I tend to be one, but because sucking like this isn't necessary.

[Godly]

Wow, that was a pile of shit. Nothing was funny and it was just kind of awkward to watch.

Try to actually have a story with actual jokes next time.

[Audioslave]

You know that part where nothing funny happened? Yeah, that was the whole video.

[RocketSauce]

You guys realize your complaining about the lack of a story in a movie that is only centered on some guy taking a shit? Ok, as long as we're both aware how hilarious it is that you are all taking this so seriously as if I was going to use it in a portfolio for film school or something. Everyone else who saw it laughed at it, but I should have remembered how you guys have such an incredibly sophisticated sense of humor. My mistake. Will never happen again.

[Audioslave]

Or it could be that everybody that was laughing was thinking "Does he seriously think this is funny?"

[Tyler_Legrand]

That was plain bad.

[Casalen]

If you're not even going to try to make something decent, or make any attempt to improve, why post such crap here?

And, considering that we aren't supposed to take it seriously, why does this seem to be your only contribution to the forums?

[abbey]

Everyone else who saw it laughed at it
Probably because you were standing right next to them.

[Triple J]

You know every time I see my friends in videos like these
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ubrmZi-tZCc
Obviously I laugh becuase I find them funny since I know them. But no one else will find them funny because they don't know Amber and Kendra. So you need a youtube video that would make anyone laugh and not just your friends.

[Chrisso]

My favorite part was when it ended.

[RocketSauce]

Actual people I don't know said it was funny. I don't know. I'm not about to get into anything with you guys over this 1 movie out of the multiple ones I've made in my life, mainly because I don't know how lenient Rob and Dave are these days (These are pretty tame 'insults'/criticism so I'm sure they enforce) and I don't really care if you don't like it that much. Feedback is feedback and I'll take any type of it, even on an effortless and random product like this. If you don't like it, perfectly fine. I didn't expect THAT much out of it, just maybe a couple laughs.

[Captainbob]

Pathetic. Nil hilarity.

Okay then, here's my feedback: Don't ever submit effortless and/or "random" works of any kind at all ever again. It's fucking stupid and makes you come across as a talentless hack. And you seem pretty certain that you aren't with the whole "oh this is only one movie out of several I've made" defense, which is retarded because its highly likely none of us have ever seen any of your other movies and, having watched this mindless, inane pile of visual cess, almost certainly wont watch them anyway, regardless of how much better you say it is.

"Everyone else who saw it laughed at it". Oh yeah, and because lots of people like shitty music or shitty movies it means I'm wrong for not liking them despite the minor issue of perception of aural and visual media being the single most subjective thing on the planet. Sorry about that, dickface.

[RocketSauce]

I actually posted another movie here that 80% liked. Keen observers should notice it's on the first page of this subforum. And I'd like a quote where I said anyone was wrong, or I tried to defend myself. I also said I'm not about to get into anything with you guys over this

Because who am I to say anyone is wrong.

USER WAS PUT IN TIMEOUT FOR THIS POST. (http://forums.explosm.net/bankamp/)
Reason: Not Contributing, just a quote.

[RocketSauce]

That was actually not as backhanded as you might think it is. The first sentence was serious. The 2nd part was kind of exaggerated since not everyone who saw it laughed at it (except a couple parts), but everyone commented on how weird it was. And I actually meant that I wouldn't post things made on the spot anymore unless they were of good production value.

Was this done on purpose?
