OCD Cleaners - another whacked out sketch comedy idea

Greetings all,


Had a fun shoot with the cast from ECT this past weekend. Shot for 4 hours. Quick rough edit and graphics on this. I missed some audio cues and peaks and the levels are a bit off.. so I will be working on that... but wanted to get this out to the fine people on DVXuser. I'm about 11 sketches in right now with a couple more to go before we have an official website launch. Things are really going well.. enjoyable crew and cast and some funny stuff.

Shot this 1080 24p advanced. Did a little bit of CC... still have some more work on the graphics... just place holders now and the audio as I mentioned. Basically a conceptual idea I had a few years ago. Not looking to piss off the OCD community... just doing some comedy.


Check it out ya.. and please leave some feedback. I have used it on follow up edits and appreciate everyone's support.. thanks all!

OH MY GOD: Looks like a MadTV skit, or SNL kind of thing.. Made me laugh out loud, and also almost choke on a Cucumber sandwich. Also reminds me of Scrubs ep. with Michael J Fox as a Dr. and he has OCD..
 
Patrick.... thanks bro and watch that cucumber sandwhich... Reminds me of a Dave Atel joke but won't go into it here...
 
Me too. Poor simple sod! 40 minutes of cleaning went into that one. I could only imagine how that chick felt in Requim for a Dream... 8 hours of cleaning.. wow

Can't wait for the next Mr. Diety!
 
I know... and man that's one badass sequence too with the motion control and the simulated moon and all that. Now that's some dedication...
 
I think you have to work on with lighting. really harsh wall shadows in places and stuff, not all that natrual looking. keep working at it. Some of it was kinda funny though, I honestly didnt find it hilarious or anything though...but I have never been into sketch comedy/pardoy type stuff.
 
Got some work to do on that. Thanks for the input J....


The wall shadows did bother me in a couple of shots but hard or near imposible with out shooting locations... and timeframe. I only shoot for 4 hours.... If I can't get it in that.. doesn't end up in the sketch. Can't abuse the actors and it's just a spoofy whacky show... But in reality.. there's shadows and highlights and a lot of this was just augmented natural lighting.... Not supposed to look polished. High key lighting as if it were a local commercial...
 
It's funny as hell, can't wait to see it as a tighter edit. The Door knob guy is the best for me.

Justyn, you're doing a great job at keeping this stuff no budget. What's your budget? "$ 0.00"

:Drogar-Dum(DBG):
 
yes. I've now done 8 sketches and spent 500 bucks... 100 for the T-shirts, 250 on birkahs... the rest on drinks since I"m keeping it to under 4 hours.. Don't have to feed anyone. It's truly Scottish filmmaking... I made the mistake before of spending tens of thousands of dollars on a project to then hope to make it back.. Key for me is to not spend anything so that I can make it or not.. but it won't kill the bank account and have my wife come looking for me with a pistol.


I already see where I can cut 30 seconds. I kind of have to live with something for a while until thing bother me.. and it's great to watch stuff with people for that reason... where I'm impatient and uneasy over things.. that's the thing to cut...


Thanks for the re-creation Gobo... I liked that a lot. On each take he did something different... but this was the tighest one with the best read by billie. The out-takes are really going to be something though....

Kill your darlings!

But, btw just for me Justyn, what's OCD originally?
 
Thanks P.... I do know a few people afflicted with this. One of the cast has a bro who is... or was. It can be quite devestating in reality. Like remember that kids show Double Dare? That hose Mark something, he used to have to have every carpet thread on his carpet going in the same direction or he couldn't or wouldn't go up his stairs and it would take him 8 hours to do it... That's some crazy bizness..
