RE: Steemit exclusive WORLD PREMIERE of THE JUJU GUM CONSPIRACY / Episode 01 / Cedric and Monica

in #art7 years ago

Down with corn syrup!!! Dude that juju commercial was such a great charicature of advertising.

You guys did such a good job on this. It made me laugh out loud several times, and the entire thing had this unusual quality that is hard to put my finger on. Kind of dystopian, or maybe, super cleverly sarcastic? Some kind of disassociative, maybe psychedelic feel. Acting was on point and the script was pretty hilarious. The shop owner had me cracking up! xD

Dude, @vachemorte, the sound design was exceptional! I really like the juju theme songs(?) The one that opens the episode, and the real sleezy, sultry piece at the end. Again, an exemplification of the charicature of advertising. Very well done, man. I also loved the way that you broke the punk music at 4:38. It let the comedy soar through perfectly. I think maybe I heard a crime theme and a party theme? I really dig what you did here, man, and I think you did a great job. Insightful use of sound, and the overall mis-en-scene was unified and evocative.

Looking forward to finding out who that old dude is, @vachemorte and @juliakponsford ! :D

I'll let you in on a little secret the old guy is our current landlord, and the screaming landlord is our ex lol! We usually choose apartments based on the weirdness of our landlords apparently :) thank you so much for watching!

Corn syrup bououhhhouu!
Funny fact I work in advertising (kind of) so I can use the weapon of the enemy against themselves without them expecting it! Your comment is so well put that it could be a film review in a magazine (but yours is super flattering ;)
As always music is super important for me ....If the actors sang I could call it a musical. That's how much music I have coming for you ...
When you said cleverly sarcastic I thought you really got it. We often try to add around 30% awkwardness to the mix ...
See you tomorrow!!!! And thanks for being here.
