OK, so maybe I shouldn't be blowing our own Revision3 horn (too loudly, anyway), but I've been helping prep for the Film Riot launch in various ways for *weeks* now - but I hadn't actually *seen* the show yet, or any part of the show except for the trailer.

Folks around the office were talking about how funny Ryan Connolly and his crew were, and how well-done the bits were. But it wasn't until helping put some finishing touches on the launch JUST NOW that I actually made 10 minutes to watch.

These guys are FUNNY. and their timing is GREAT. Diction needs a little work, but hey, you can't have everything. 8-)

I predict great things for these guys. I think you'll like them as much as I did.

Oh man, this took me by surprise, I had completely forgotten about this.
My thoughts are that this is surprisingly funny.
It's shorter than I thought, but if they can explain the technique in that amount of time, no problem.
It's a bit technical (precomp?).. never seen/used after effects, but this show still intrigues me
Hopefully after effects is not required for everything that is seen on this show (will there be old school techniques shown as well?)

Awaiting new episodes!

great show, but i think you guys need to make it longer and if they could explain maybe one eps. about the computer they use and the specs of that otherwise i ready enjoyed it can't wait for next week ep

This show was a gigantic pile of awesomeness!

Please, please do not change anything! You guys are wildly hilarious. I'm not joking around, I think you guys are genuinely talented in the humor department. That was the funniest Squarespace commercial I have ever seen! I think that was the funniest Rev3 show I have ever seen!

Excellent timing, excellent show, I will definitely watch next week! (And you didn't even need the subliminal messages ).

Thank you guys so much for the kind words. The response so far after only an hour or so is overwhelming. We are all so happy you guys are enjoying it, and if Ryan wasn't asleep right now I'm sure he'd be on the boards expressing the gratitude. Well, maybe not. He's more cool and collected, I'm the overreacting freak out type person. Make sure you spread the word, and thanks again!

I had planned to abstain (being a fellow rev3 host and all), but seeing that I'm not the one breaking the seal, I feel safe giving a huge high-five to the newest members of the rev3 family. LOVED the first episode, and DOUBLE-LOVED the squarespace sponsor read! Congrats, guys!

(and on a side note, I noticed the full-sail reference. My Bro went to full sail, and later worked on Alice, Wolfenstein, doom 3 expansion, and the ill-fated duke nukem forever. Plus, I shot an appearance on "the dailiy buzz," shot in their studios!)

congrats again, guys.

I like it a lot, also wish it was a bit longer, but, I'm sure longer episodes will come with time. Looking forward to seeing the Full Sail stuff, I almost went there for school, but regrettably bailed at the last minute. Still kick myself for that. Looking forward to future episodes

First of all, loved the first show, but it needs to be at least 30 mins. and the concepts need to be developed & explained more

Now THIS I enjoy. First CO-OP, then ROFL, and now Film Riot, I'm falling in love with Rev3 all over again. I feel like when I first started watching Diggnation over a year ago, then TRS, Systm, and Tekzilla, and its a good feeling.
