OTHER: Unique Indie GoGo

Underexposed, overexposed, overall poorly lit, shitty sound.
I liked the idea, but seeing as how this works as a proof of concept you're displaying an incredibly low production value. I've seen high school students shoot better quality stuff.
I'm being straight with you because it's sloppy work and I know you know it's sloppy work - You're asking people for money; Get a proper mic.

It's a pitch video dude, nothing more. Obviously you didn't watch the reel on the tail end.

I did watch the reel and that's what annoys me. You know enough to do better, so you're not some kid I need to go easy on and say "Well, you tried".
Not getting good sound - that's lazy. Not nailing proper exposure - that's lazy.
I mean come on; you're asking people for their money. People aren't going to invest if you're Okay with stuff like this. I would be ashamed to stand by something with this poor production value.

You posted this here, in the USER FILMS section, so that's how I'm going to approach it - But more so I'm taking into consideration how the video affects your odds of getting funded. So there you have it, and I'm telling you this because I feel the approach you took with shooting it as a scene and not putting any effort in really affects your chances of people backing you up.

That said, I've come across work you've done in the past and I know what level you're on - So don't take this too personally; I'm just being honest with you as far as my perception of the pitch video and the effectiveness of it :-)
 
Honestly, I coudn't watch it and had to skip to the reel. Aside from the production value issues already mentioned, it just comes across as gimicky, and I think the sooner you pull it the better. .

Or, keep the footage, especially the dude with the piils, and maybe the best parts of the back-and-forth that show tension, and lose the sound all together. Replace it with what-if super'd teasers about the story, then intro the reel.

As it is IMO, it will work against you.
