Episode 3: Thanksgiving Letter + Dating Ad "Gamer" [Discussion]

[instmsgrs]

re: Thanksgiving: Taken from a widely circulated email from a neurotic family member detailing precisely how the rest of the family should prepare for thanksgiving, right down to the size of the casserole dishes. The infamous "Thanksgiving Letter" email, circulated on several food blogs before exploding on AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com is brought to life as we explore the psychological under pinnings behind a "No Cocktail Sauce" rule. Digital Date: Our favorite posted online personal ads brought to you as God intended...in the form of video personals from the early 90's. In this one we meet the Gamer who asks the profound universal question: Want it from behind while you play Super Mario Brothers ? - m4w

dear god ...when I thought your production value you couldn't get any lower...it did! Fire that god awful colorist, the grading made me cringe....its a nice idea to make it look like a period piece with the auto chrome...but it was just discussing looking, especially jumping from an such an deliberate choice and cutting from a oh most desaturated shot...my eyes, Fire him/or her at once, such people should not make a living from such distasteful art direction, and colorist...if you were under orders by gun point from the art director, next time take the bullet . The Source material...entirely trash, disgusting, what happend...come on you had such a great first show...even with some flaws, I liked it. you can do better, and please change that motion graphics intro, stop masking footage over that godawful asset of scrolling text..alright it doesn't look good;' get a designer who knows what the fuck they are doing. The future of New media is coming literally over night with more adoption of on line content 10 foot UI's and set top boxes that can direct the casual user to your content...your on the god damn Roko box for christ sakes, so make it like it counts.

Just asking again, hellbent, can we adapt your post?

Just asking again, hellbent, can we adapt your post?

Hey guys, I just want to say that I love the show. You guys have had three solid episodes so far and I'm excited to see what you have next week...

But the reason why I am posting is to say... Ignore Hellbent! All that dude does is go around posting hate crap about stuff he knows nothing about. I liked the color correction and (like most people with an IQ higher than a 2nd grader) see why you chose it. But I mean really... After reading his unbelievably bad grammar and completely incorrect use of the art direction title, I imagine you wouldn't take his opinion anyway.

I've come to the conclusion that people who post hateful crap like that have no talent and are angry that you do.

Keep up the great work!

Thanks for your response, Ryan. We do love Film Riot!

Wow, didn't realize, Hellbent, that you were notorious - again, more reason for us to ask again if we can adapt your posts!

Ryan, let us know when you're in Smell-A?

As for hellbent......I dont claim to be as savvy as the Revision3 crew, but I do work in "new media" and production for a living and I dont know WTF you're going on about.

Fun episode. I couldn't imagine receiving such an email from a crazy relative.

[instmsgrs]

Glad you liked the ad! I loved it too - so much that I responded to him in his motel room. Just kidding. :)

I didn't think anyone still owned a Nintendo and low and behold, our very own director, Justin, has one. More video gamers to appear in the season!

Do you like the animation or the music or both?

Laura Panella did the animation and she's great. Music is by a local band here in LA called Globes on Remote. You should check 'em out: http://www.globesonremote.com/

We're actually working on some more animation/After Effects stuff with Sophie Blackall - an artist in Brooklyn. She makes these amazing water color paintings based on....MISSED CONNECTIONS! Her website: http://www.sophieblackall.com/ She's been written up everywhere.

Great Thanksgiving bit. I think we all know someone like that. Also, the Super Mario Bros ad just about killed me.
