So money can't buy good ideas, but you guys persevered and got a video out of it. Kudos! Some pretty random stuff in there, "narcolepsy is a bitch" made me laugh. Hope you overcome your writer's block!

So, I like you group name. Obviously. How did you come up with it? Not sure why you're smelling your shoes. "Up syndrome" is funny. This is a very intense video. I feel like I'm being interrogated. I like the REALISM of this. But yeah, DEF a lightweight, haha.

Ouch I saw the other one before this which a similar concept. The music is not very fitting, I'm not sure why you chose a JT song... The comforter is kind of obvious :p Sorry this was pretty ok, I didn't get too much of the jokes, but I'm glad you guys entered!

Titles too long. What is going on, here? You camera framed too high. Too much space above your actors head. Yeah, so. Don't know what to say about this. I could see this idea being a little better if you took some of the filler out. As is, wasn't that fun to watch. I am sorry. At least you tried SOMETHING, though, right?

Sound: Not too hard to screw this one up with the "interview" style short. Like Viperfang's movie, it seems like a joke entry. 4/5

Lighting: A little dark up front as if the light is coming from behind him. Maybe have much of the light come from the left or right. That would give a better "interview look". 3/5

Filmfights Criteria: You talked about a lack of ideas, but not about how money couldn't buy them (like NDI did). This would have been a better movie for the Filmfights Filmfight. 2/5.

Script/Story: Not much to see here. Looks like everything was made up on the scene. The "I can't think of what to do" movie is funny to see a few times, but gets old pretty quick. 1/5

Acting/Choreography: Everything the guy says is pretty natural, but with the lack of a story, it just isn't very amusing. 2/5.

Pacing/Style: Shots were cut together nicely, but that's effortless in a blooper reel style movie. 3/5

Overall: Coming up with a good story is a huge chunk of the magic in movie making. "I don't know what to do for this filmfight" entries get real old, real quick and come off as a copout. 2/5 (not an average)
