Baked Beans

Was supposed to do a Public Service Announcment for my class in Mason Gross, Art school, but I decided to make a joke out of it.

I know, I need help with compression...is anyone having problems viewing these?

I don't know whether it's my computer or not but I was unable to view video in either format.

It said it was loading but never did.

Sorry man.

I have been able to see it :)
But I have no ideas what to say about :))) Just have a good appetite!

I watched the low res version on my mac. Worked fine.

Lighting was great. Looked pro. Only thing that stood out to me was the fade in of the waterfall of beans against the backdrop of the beans in the pot. Thought the beans in the pot should have been more opaque than the waterfall of beans at a certain point.

There were minor performance issues but it's nit picks at best. Would have loved to have heard a back drop of fart sounds someplace. Really would have pushed the humor more. (thinking of blazing saddles for some reason, lol)

But nicely done.

thanx for the feedback, good comments maybe the bean pot sticks out more in the res...but it probably still needs to be more opaque.

Must be my computer.
It's not showing up for me.

i thought it was funny. Good job.

That was hilarious. :grin: Very professionally done. I loved the cheesy eighties moonlighting music and the Barry White voice over.

You could make it more of a PSA by casting an overly officious government type to give a very serious five second warning about the dangers of excessive bean eating. That would give it a PSA feel.
