Inside This Video

In this video by a group that calls themselves "Not Quite Ripe," a creepy guy attempts to sneak up on a girl and attack her.  She seems him coming and begins to run.  She is worried about how to get away, when she remembers the safety blue lights on campus.  She presses it and the guy disappears.

What we like about this Video

-A funny parody of the use of the safety lights on a college campus.

-The video is not trying to accomplish too much.  It is short and simple.

-Not bad with the special effects.

Maybe Next time.

-Extend the chase just a bit, throwing in some funny situations along the way.

-Put a twist on the whole concept.  Maybe it doesn't work at all?

Inside This Video

After their Nintendo Wii runs out of batteries, two college students try to figure out what to eat.  After listing off the food he finds in his fridge, one of the students realizes they are in trouble because they don't know how to cook.  Just then, the other student comes up with a solution.  They will go to supercook.com and it well tell them how to cook.  After this realization, they head to the kitchen and the video ends.

What we like about this Video

-They really have nothing of substance in their fridge.  Very college.

-Multiple shots are used, so they at least made an attempt at some editing.

Maybe Next time.

-The video is clearly supposed to be funny, yet there are really no laughs.  Try adding some jokes or humorous situations.

-The title on youtube says "don't miss the surprise!"  I'm not sure I ever caught one.  Make that more clear.

A mockumentary about decorating a female dorm room.  We watch as a girl decorates her room, and a guy with a French accent narrates the entire action.

What we like about this Video

-The narrator gets in some really funny lines:

-"She will make a nice bed, 'cause she does not want the guys to leave."

-"I like Jean Grey.  I think I would look good in her tights."

Maybe Next time.

-There was the possibility for many more jokes.  Maybe an "interview" with the girl or her friends.

-There is some unnecessary footage in there.  Not all of it was funny, as intended.

A guy pretends he is batting in a baseball game, while another heckles him from the bleachers.  When the batter strikes out, the two guys go at it.  This is intended to be a funny video, and is.  However, I am afraid it is not funny for the reasons they intend.

What we like about this Video

-Right when the "plot" reaches its climax, and they are about to fight, the girl who is filming yells "Lee be careful!"  Thus, ruining all of their "hard" work.

-I don't think they know anything about baseball.  Brilliant.

Maybe Next time.

-Use some multiple shots/edits.

-Keep the camera on the people in the skit.

-If you are holding the camera and not intended to be in the movie, don't speak in the middle of it.
