Real Reality

Looks like it was well put together, as others have mentioned.
Kids with british accents are always funny :)

I thought the voice over talent could have been a bit stronger, he didn't give much life to the piece. Also, the subtitles on the neighbor at the end flew by way too fast for me, I couldn't read what he was saying. By the time I realized there were subtitles at the bottom the first line was gone, and the next two flew by. I think I read something about getting 'burned,' but I'm not sure.

Overall, good work.
Best of luck.
 
Thanks for the positive responses and the observations. No word on it yet but I hope it goes some where.
 
I agree with tktk, there is so much reality television around that it all seems so boring now. Also as Luis Caffesse said the VO is a little weak. However I think this project looks cool, feels like it's already on TV. Good luck with getting it picked up :)
 
Yeah, a ton of reality I agree. How 'bout "Entertainment Documentary"???

As for the VO - The guy who did it is a pro, and gave me a bargain price for it, but he is use to doing really mellow stuff (he's one of the voices for C-SPAN-if you're an SNL fan or North American you might be familiar w/ that). It's partially my fault too because I recorded him in a slightly noisy room w/ a lav straight into my DVX.

So I haven't gotten any bites on it yet but it's still early in the game. It is getting to be a pain doing all the early aquisition on my own. Cross my fingers!
 
Regardless of whether we like Reality TV or not, I think this was a funny and engaging promo!

(now, I have to admit that having grown up around farms I found this even more amusing... one time I watched a neighbors animals for a couple of days (cows, pigs, sheep, etc) and I ended up chasing cows through the forest and getting shiite all over myself, visualize it, their arses are about chest high and when you chase them they dump whenever they want, on the trees and leaves... you know, the trees and leaves you're running through! ) Now that would have made for some good reality TV!
 
Shawn-First-thanks, second-Some of these pigs are nearly as big as a cow, especially when standing next to some of the kids. I'm sure there will be plenty what you went through. These guys crap everywhere!
