Ok, so I only recently found this website, and this video is from 2007...not exactly timely.

BUT, I did actually make this video for a final project in my class, and ended up getting a B in both the class and on the project. Definitely the most fun I've had with a homework assignment ever.

Starts slow, but once you get to the interviews the hilarity really picks up.

And yes, I did the whole "video response" thing.

And yes, I want honest, asshole critiques of my work. If it sucks, say so, I still got a fucking B for this shit.

Good script and appropriation of footage.  Kind of a shame about the audio/video quality but you're forgiven because no college has more than 3 HD cameras for the entire study body to rent.

Unfortunately, this seems like it was created for a specific group (people at your university, especially those who took that webjournalism class, know the people you interviewed, or ARE the people you interviewed). I am not in this group, nor are most people on the internet, so the appeal is already somewhat limited. But I'll look at this as objefctively as I can.

Most of the interviewers said "I don't know" or some variation, which doesn't make for a lot of humour. The narrator (you?) didn't speak naturally. Perhaps memorizing the lines would make you speak more fluidly? The wind really distracted me, and only a few answers were actually kind of funny. (The real answer, of course, is to have doggy style sex with a woman and then toss her out the window right as you finish, so you can watch her fly like Superman. Careful, though-this sex act is slightly illegal) Also, it was clearly made with Windows Movie Maker, which is a really bad free editing program. The words you edited  in were pixelated and blurry, something that a better program like iMovie or something would probably avoid.

A good idea, needs better execution and more universality.

I'm sure you can get a cracked version of it. But the dude is in university, there is bound to be a computer with a better editing program than WMM.

Great Video!  Awesome everything and stuff.......but for those who didn't actually watch it, I think you should give a concise definition of the lyric in case they're afraid to just to urban dictionary and look it up.

Seriously, what does it mean?

Seriously, what does it mean?

Well Timmy, sit down and I'll tell you. When a man loves a woman, he wants to do very special things with her. So, in this case, he cums on her back and sticks a bedsheet to the semen, creating a cape. But he does this because he loves the girl very much.

As far as the video goes, Ben made a couple decent points. I'm assuming you just did this for a project and you're not actually looking into a career in filmmaking, but if so, you should definitely invest in a microphone with a windscreen. The editing wasn't terrible, I actually thought the interview segment was done pretty well. But the transition into some of the clips seemed awkward and there were still some noticeable watermarks (i.e. the massive IGN on the Superman clip.)

All in all, the video was okay. It wasn't too long and the premise held a lot of comedy, but most of your interviews fell flat. There was one guy that was definitely getting into it, and he was really fun to watch, but the rest of the people seemed too shy to give a proper answer. You should have found more people like the first guy, that way you would get a ton of differing (and funny) answers. Instead, 99% of your interviewees practically dismissed you and it got kind of boring.

Thanks for the honesty ya'll.

I didn't sink a ton of effort into this project, I just wanted to do something different from the rest of the class, you know?

I've sometimes considered doing a whole series on obscure rap lyrics...is there anything you guys can think of that is a confusing-yet-integral part of a rap song?

Ive often wondered what to roll "down the street smokin' endo, sippin' on gin and juice" might mean.

Use an external microphone next time.  You blew it in the first few seconds.

I thought it was jizzing on her back then laying the blanket over her so it sticks and turns into a cape. Better than my friend's move
