Hey my man!!!! In case you guys don't know, Brent won a contest I had for my ol' Canon GL1. He's been making me proud ever since.

I think it's funny how he speaks very 'woody allen' but loves Christmas.

Some audio issues on this - dialogue only coming through on the left channel. Gotta mono that shit!

Thought this idea was about 1:30 too long. Feel reduntant. Lighting is decent. The actor is pretty decent too, just took the concept a bit too long IMO.

I give this film a C+ --- also, I'm glad Brent in is the battle ground here!!! Can't wait to see his killer HW entry that I"m sure will be coming!

(don't forget to review the other films, my friend!)

So thoughts about the audio issues?
This is something that happens consistently to me. It gets exported in stereo, edited in Premiere, imported in stereo, plays through both speakers when editing, so what's happening?
Also at Justin: what's my "killer HW entry"? And by this I mean: HW? Homework?

What is that humming noise?!?! I like the acting. Light and all that seems pretty good, but that fucking humming noise is going to make me have a seizure. Btw, that girl was smiling way too much. I like the closeup shot of the foot, but the other shots are way to long. This was a good idea, but needed tightened up a lot. No real conclusion, either. Liked the acting.

Side note: I noticed both you and Sometimes Funny used music by Kevin MacLeod. I have used his royalty free music in a couple recent movies, too.

Monologues are hard to do, especially when you cant move out of you're chair. acting was good, change in mood was good, music helped understand the emotions, which was a nice touch.

So ive seen this one a few times already. I gotta say I love this guys voice, its very whippery. For some reason i find this entry really sad. He just sooo lonely forced to talk to himself. but when you always find a way to bring the sprit back up just a tad. Like with the whole glove thing. :D Oh man, mental breakdown. I dont get the ending tho. Throughout the whole video balloons were never mentioned. then boom baby picture with balloons.
