Often when starting a job we are nervous and overwhelmed. Laughter helps with that. <br /><br />I think your critique on presentation and performance is far and agree that personal preference does come into play. For me, I'd rather watch something cheesy than some stiff and boring corporate video. It's more memorable, even if the video is low quality. <br /><br />PS: I don't know why my name defaults to "emily may photography!" I think I tried making that site years ago. I don't even remember... Either way, WP won't let me log with my actual site. So weird! It's only on blogger. emily may photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10018482105009435950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1393281585242075546.post-9964121734507206532015-06-21T18:59:49.054-07:002015-06-21T18:59:49.054-07:00Hi Mike,

Actually it was professionally planned and executed, as you point out. Having just finished my audio assignment, I can see that a lot of work went into the audio effects.<br /><br />I actually thought the story, in terms of its narrative arc, was weak. Some jokes are effective stories, some jokes are just gags, and this was a gag. I agree with you about the presentation and writing, though, and you address these traits well.<br /><br />A final detail - why not embed the video in your post so it can be viewed directly? I do this in Blogger all the time. If you're not sure how, I'd be happy to help.<br /><br /><br />Bill Calhounhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08908076522127296018noreply@blogger.com
