"GeekED" - a mentatDUKE joint

I had a blast watching this one. I think all your actors did a great job -- the film was quick, funny and smart. I think there was a comparison to Kevin Smith and I can see why. The potato sack getup is classic.

The sound, however, is what bothered me the most -- sounds like a lot of noise reduction was done? In any case it pulled me away from the film a bit, but overall good job here, lots of fun. Good times!
 
Heheh, solid entry. Pretty funny with some great writing.

Here’s some thoughts as I watch it a second time.

Nice opening.

Liked the specificity of the list of things she’s giving back to him. Got a real sense of character.

Your Noise Reduction is a bit heavy, sounds phased.

The black guy has some GREAT lines.

“why I always gotta be the vulnerable *****”
“because you got soft facial features and pretty dough eyes. Know your role” great writing.

LOL, that girl is sooooo Blonde and then she busts with all that astrophysics talk.

Nice entry!
 
jojopop and Jack, thanks for the feedback. Glad the film worked for you guys for the most part. The sound is killing us on this one...

Thanks again.
 
Hey, yep. bummer with the sound. But, otherwise, it's great to see a comedy with high production values. It can be easy to ignore the technical aspects and throw a laughfest in the can (assuming it is great just cause of the jokes). I'm glad that wasn't the case of geekED.

Scriptwise, I wasn't so sure about it until the end. Funny, but wasn't quite me. But when the ending kicked in and we saw that all the story did nothing for the character but stick him back on the couch... that's when I knew the film was on a higher plain. Took a while to get there, but loved it when it did.

Keep it up!
 
Would have loved to see you end it a little bit earlier than you did. Just cut out that montage and then cut to him "One Month Later". Maybe give it a shot?

The black guy definitely had some awesome lines. I watched it a few hours ago, so I can't remember anything word for word, but I remember laughing at the line about facebook.

I would have loved to see the look on your poster carry through to the film, but I don't know how well that would have worked. Maybe you gave it a shot and know more than I do.

Anyways, more films to watch. Good job on this man, I enjoyed it. Haha, especially the girl cracking that one guys neck. Priceless.
 
Thanks for the feedback Bryce and Ryan.

Bryce, glad you liked the ending and held on to see things play out.

Ryan, glad you liked the neck-break, but if I cut out the montage, won't it disappear? :)
 
MentatDuke. True that. True that.

You have quite the perdicament on your hands. I'll leave you to sort it out. ;)
 
Yo MentatDuke. I know voting is over but I watched the rest of the entries last night just before voting closed. Just wanted to stop and say great job, man.

I liked your cast. The trio played off one another well. Had some funny lines. The cuties in your short certainly helped out. I liked the bar location. I thought the blonde girl did a great job at being chatty and then played (initially). Great job creating that initial akwardness.

I liked the ending back on the couch in the sack.

Enjoyed it. Good luck, man.
 
I liked it. You had some good moments and some good writing, I think it needed more polish but it oozed potential. The bar desperately needed some extras too. All the actors did well, the blonde girl at the end looks like she wouldn't be out of place in an American Pie movie (number 1 or 2 - that's a compliment). The black dude was really good too, maybe put those two as the leads and see what happens.

Great work!
