The Darjeeling Method - Apple Insomnia Entry

Yeah, there was a huge audio drop at one point, but that hardly matters - this thing is so bad overall, it makes no difference. There's no wit here, and no punchline. It's one lame conceit ("bird walker" har, har) stretched interminably. You never actually see the guy with the bird cause that would be too hard - he walks and the camera never looks up, it's "take our word, it's funnnnnny". And the BBQ grill reveal - gee, like we had no idea what's coming<roll eyes>. Clunky lines, worthless concept, total waste.
 
I think that the whole movie was very well done. Some nice, dry humor is a good chance of pace from the downright uninteligible or simply stupid jokes I've seen in some of the other entries I've watched. The effect with the bird on the leash was GREAT! A very funny (and yet subtle) effect! The only criticisims I have are that the main subject did the accent switch a little too subtly. A much more abrupt change would hit it home a little better. Also, know when to end the movie. It lost steam in the last 10 seconds or so after the BBQ reveal. It should be "...I would love to continue our conversation on birds." -CUT TO BLACK

Overall, I hope that this makes it to the next round. I found it to be a nice fresh take on the "mockumentary". Keep up the good work.
