The Escapist Film Festival 2009: PALS - Pilot Episode

[Artorius]

In all sincerity though, I wanted to thank everyone who took the time to watch and comment on our film. And if you're yet to comment, please do! Tell us what we did right, tell us what we did wrong (without making me cry please ). We will take note and learn from it, and apply what we've learnt either in future episodes of PALS or in our next production. Or hopefully both!

Your PAL,
Mario

hehe finally a word from the producers ..
anyhow..
good show as i stated above.. with the exception of the laugh tracks.
Here is my feedback on the ep.
first i think you really need to decrease the laugh tracks volume..to the point of almost not hearing it.Cause it became something dread as Zelda's NAVI "HEY LISTEN!!.!!"
secondly-as some said..acting needs improving .. especially Chun-li she had many lines to do but but looked very stuff while doing it.
thirdly- i kinda failed to see why master chief was there.he was pretty useless in the plot though he reminds me of Joey 'How you Doing' xP
last but not least .. it really was a good pilot ep..
and don't worry many gr8 series hit it big with their first eps.
in my opinion it is a diamond in the rough. with a bit of polishing it could become epic ..
hehe..so here ends my long boring post xP..

I didn't like your laugh track, the camera lighting and the general cheesiness. Sorry but there are other entries I'd rather vote for.

Im really sorry but i actually cannot physically watch your video. I completely fail to understand how it is even possible to produce film of such eye-watering quality. Were you filming in the middle of the day with the sun streaming into your apartment with a cameraphone? AND THEN washed out the colours to an unbelievable extent?? I, personally, found it physically painful.

Because I hate giving all negative feedback, the sound quality was good, the set was fitting and it was reminiscent of the TV series in a convincing way. The acting was also of a similar quality, theme, tone etc. to that of the series.

The laugh track was the main thing that got on my nerves here. Especially when it interupted the characters, or prevented them from doing anything.

Its the main problem I have with any sitcom with a laugh track. A character enters a room, and just stands there whilst some annoying laughter takes place for a good 5 seconds, with every other character waiting for this imaginary laughter to die down before interacting.

That was... Awkward..
