Hey everybody I was just dropping in to promote this new series I've been working on. I'm new to the site so I'm not really sure if this type of post belongs here, but I would love it if some of you checked out Brooklyn Law. It's a tragic comedy about 2 young Long Island Detectives. Any tips or critiques would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Below are the links to episodes 1, 2 and 3. They are each less than ten minutes.

We don't have the greatest production values in the world but we try hard anyway. In my opinion episode 1 can be skipped.

I'm not quite sure what your mean. But I am totally interested in the result you speak of. Could you be a little more specific? And thanks for showing me where the post really belongs.
 
I cant,id get eaten by guys who would say that your vid looks good and nothing is wrong with it,i can only say that overexposing is most common mistake/error in amateur films.
Try to avoid white colours blown off in your footage,its loss of information in your picture but it also screams VIDEO(not filmlike).
Watch some films,look at the sky in them,look where are white colour,how much...also use some depth of field by zooming in during conversation ,its the best way for small sensor cam cause youre really not need to see person from belt to top of the head when he is talking,so zoom in until blurry background will appear behind him.Look at films ,watch this "blurry background"' during conversations ,try to do mimic this effect.Not easy but worth it.
Im not gonna comment on story,its your story your choice,but what i could say about the picture is exposure and depth of field during conversation.
 
Okay. Thank you for taking the time to view what you did, and I do appreciate your advice very much so. Personally I always pull the exposure down but then I feel like everything is way to dark. Any advice on compensating? Or would I just need to use some outdoor lights do you think. in any event thank you, we're trying to make this the best it can be.
 
Is your editing monitor calibrated? Like with an Eye One Display 2? That is an area that too many editors neglect, not using calibrated monitors. You wouldn't think to edit stills without one, why not video? You can't just rely on waveforms.
