Great concept, the actors were fun, the editing is very good...

But problem is with the framing...they're just sort of...in the middle there. You should have utilized the rule of 3rds a bit more.

But still, it's a fun little spot. :D

Thanks Brandon. I was trying to make sure it would work if they took a 4:3 center cut, but I agree about the composition. It was tricky too because that camera was locked off for the jump cuts, but the actors were very different heights and they wanted to lean in so much. It was a bit of a compromise.

[BrandonC]

Understood, but they don't necessarily have to 'center cut' it...they can just crop the left side off.

It would look better 4:3, though.

pretty good! definitely option number 2 would do a little better with the ad meter
