[video=youtube;xkY53zIfsO8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkY53zIfsO8[/video] Made in 48 hours for a film festival blah blah blah
Gave off some [b]really[/b] strong Aunty Donna vibes to me, from the way it suddenly cuts between talking and action, to the "yeah that's good" "ooh I like that", the subtley absurdist humor, and the way the title is done at the end, with the differing colors and chromatic aberration, feels like a visual interpretation of the sounds that Aunty Donna use. This episode in particular comes to mind: [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlU8ujPraOk[/media] Not a critique, or calling you out or anything like that. Just saying that I can sense some definite inspiration, and I think you guys did a great job pulling it off. Legitimately felt like an Aunty Donna skit, and I was kinda surprised it wasn't by the end. To give some critical response, I only really had two issues with it: 1.) The noise-to-voice ratio in the beginning felt a bit off - a bit [b]too[/b] noisy, with the voice a bit [b]too[/b] low in the mix. 2.) The camera shake felt a bit extreme in my opinion, almost like you digitally added shake on top of the camera already being naturally shaky. Other than that, though, it was really solid! I enjoyed the humor and the overall cinematography, and the acting had a quaint charm to it as well. Great job, overall!
I liked the [sp]rapid stabbing[/sp] at the end.

We had to deal with what we had in terms of audio quality, we just had a rode mic on the camera and it was super windy when filming some of the shots. Thanks for the feeback though, the rest of the guys like hearing this stuff.
Brockwell park? I used to chase the locals there too (minus the fork stabbing).
