SICU BLUES - a medical drama parody

[LuckyMovie]

This was a video I made during my second to last year of nursing school. Some of the bits are instructional, but hopefully still entertaining. Conceived, shot, and edited in one week featuring my fellow classmates.



Enjoy and leave feedback!

Pretty funny. At times very funny. I think it's a little long and loses some of its comedic momentum but the music adds a lot to the parody.

A brisker pace and perhaps a little sharper writing could make this a solid web-series. Especially for the medical set.

Thanks Martin! You're right, the transitions from scene to scene are sometimes a little awkward, which I attribute to the writing. Hopefully I can improve on this on my next project!

Do you think this has a future as a web-series? Of course, there'd be less tutorials, and more over-the-top parody at play. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Definitely. But I'd say make the eps shorter and don't lose the tutorials, just spread them out in different episodes.

If you up the pace and keep the momentum up, then the audience will come back for more.

I like the concept, I was a huge fan of ER and it would be like a show that focused on an over the top Chuny or Malik or more likely Jerry (remember those characters?).

I do think you could concentrate on better lighting design though as well. I mean, if you got the location, no reason not to use it to the full potential. As it is, it looks darker than most hospital environments on T.V. or film. Even if it might be more realistic to actual hospital lighting...but who wants realistic?
