Jumping the Shark / Comedy
Completed February 14th, 2009
Wikipedia says: "Jumping the shark is a colloquialism used by TV critics and fans to denote that point in a TV show or movie series' history where the plot veers off into absurd story lines or out-of-the-ordinary characterizations, particularly for a show with falling ratings apparently becoming more desperate to draw viewers in. In the process of undergoing these changes, the TV or movie series loses its original appeal." Start your short film off normally, then pick a point to totally "jump the shark" with a ridiculous twist. The more ridiculous the better.

"Wow. That was pretty good. It was edited and shot well. I would suggest making use of some ambient noise next time. Just film the natural sound of a room and add it in when there is no music playing. The silence at the end during the explosions was good though. I also really liked the effects. Good job"

"What a month. According to the calculations I never made, if you added the cumulative votes of 'Lost: Jumping the Shark' and 'The Peacock,' We would have as many views as The 11th week of 'Beverly Hills Chihuahua.' To quote the evil chinese Banker from DarkKnight "I am a master of Calculation." Good work Gents. "
