Haha, in that first video (3:36) that pistol flip was so fail. XD

Apart from the cheezyness, which is funny when you're filming it, but not so funny afterwards - overall, it needs some work.

Watch this. It's short, simple, and very well made. See how much difference steadier camera work, foley sounds, and a little color correction makes?

^Not a great example for dialogue, though. But I'm sure you've watched fan videos a plenty. For the most part, your actors need to work on their acting, but there were a few scenes where that guy (black shades, curly hair, not sure if that's you?) was fairly convincing, so props to him. What would really help with the dialogue would be a better microphone, or even the one I noticed you have (in that rap part), if you can find ways to use it properly. When the voices are faint, even when the people are close up, it kills it. It kills it hard.

As for that far away shot (6:50) with the short fellow, I'd recommend hiding it under his coat, because I couldn't hear him at all. If the length of the mic cable is an issue (or hiding said cable, unless it's wireless), just get him to reread his lines later in postprod (while watching the scene, so it lines up) and overlay it on the footage,. Also, try to never, ever use the zoom feature. And be careful with autofocus, I noticed it unfocus a few times.

It may seem trivial, but it's the little things that matter. You could have the best effects (which, and the sounds accompanying them, could be better), and have it all ruined by sh*t acting or sloppy camera work.

As for ideas, I don't think much has been done(fanfilm-wise) about Ramirez, and with some clever writing, I think you could make it pretty hilarious.

That's not the point I was making....you know what...just...NVM

I agree about the lag. I'm not sure how easy that would be to parody, though.

If you guys would really like to wow us, you could write a short script for a segment and we could incorporate it.

Let us know what comes to your mind.
