Back in February some friends and I made a movie for Campus Moviefest poking fun at the wolf alert descriptions that were sent out for a few years. The movie titled Dark Complexion Male is now in the final round of a competition for it to be screened at the Campus Moviefest national competition in Hollywood! If our movie receives more views than the team were are against by Monday night, we have the opportunity to go to Hollywood for the premiere. It would be great for another NC State team to be represented at this competition.
You can watch the film at the link below. Please watch this and spread it around to your friends.

5:01? Ain't nobody got time for that.
I skipped through it. Learn to mic your audio better next time. Also, it wasn't funny.

You've got five minutes to come down from your pearly gates to reply to this post but not five minutes to watch the video? Also, I'm so glad you're an expert in audio quality and can do a better job than me. I hope that serves you well. Lastly, you are one of the few people that has watched that and not found it funny so you must have a dismal sense of humor. Good day to you. 6/1/2013 8:36:05 PM |

I laughed. Good Luck!

Given your response, I probably am.
Here are some "pro" tips for your next big viral hit:
Pick up a microphone. Get an 1/8" extension cord, like a long one (10 feet or more). Plug it into the mic plug on the camera. Tape it to a long stick. Bam, you've got yourself a boom mic.

Oh, you mean aside from "your friends and family who don't want to hurt your feelings and don't know shit about filmmaking?"

If I had the resources I would have made a boom mic, but to buy a microphone that is better quality that the one on the Canon XHA1 camera would have probably been too expensive.

No. I mean the judges who picked it as one of the better films submitted, the hundreds of people who applauded the movie in Witherspoon, the large number of people I don't even know who have come up to me to complement me on the film, and the thousands of supporters that have helped us get this far in the competition.6/2/2013 9:04:36 AM |

It wasnt my bag, but damn yall are some dicks. Congratulations on being considered for something and having the balls to promote it. Dont be so overtly defensive about it, theres something to say for tact when promoting yourself.
They can pick you apart all they want and while that can be a good thing, theyre just trying to be funny and failin miserably for absolutely no accolades whatsoever.
Not my type of humor, but ill contribute a few views for you anyway, good luck! 6/2/2013 6:38:46 PM |

Rules for self promotion on TWW:
1. No photos or videos from inside of restrooms, especially with rack focus. 2. No claiming to be an internet expert when you suck at the internet. 3. No photos of your tits if your marriage might be on the rocks.
These fuckers will eat you alive.

Not bad for a rookie effort. I would leave out some of the "cheap" humor (ie. ball shaving). That type of stuff is usually only funny to young kids. The acting was pretty shaky also to be honest. You know what, I would actually just call it quits if I were you. 6/3/2013 10:54:21 AM |

My favorite part was when the OP embarrassed himself several times by responding to critique in a douchey, self-aggrandizing manner.

Derisiveness, discouragement, and personal insults do not qualify as criticism. If I keep "embarrassing" myself through defending myself from the unprovoked abusiveness demonstrated by the people in this community, this thread remains at the top of the forum, and the video continues to gain viewership. If you hate it that much, it would make more sense to quit posting altogether. 6/3/2013 1:31:00 PM |

My comments were criticism.
Your audio is awful. And it wasn't that funny unless I was a 14 year old. That's legitimate criticism. 6/3/2013 1:37:21 PM |

I'm not even sure a 14 y/o girl would find that funny. I just don't see any comedy in that clip whatsoever. I mean, the whole dark complexion male thing at state has tons of potential for parody and comedy. This was not it. 6/3/2013 1:39:05 PM |

By no means is it perfect. I can think of a lot of things that could be improved. Certainly a boom mic would have helped in a few scenes (I will let you know that cmf may have double compressed the audio on this thing because they can't deal with certain file types). The acting wasn't perfect and there are some continuity errors. If you expected a Kubrick or a Tarantino you will be dissapointed, seeing as this was done on a limited budget with a limited time frame of a weekend by college students in the middle of a semester. If you find the film juvenile or unfunny that is your prerogative. Evidently, quite a few people disagree. 6/3/2013 2:03:24 PM |

Of course they do. For example, I'm not watching your video because of your behavior in this thread. Art bears characteristics of the artist, and you are presenting yourself as a posturing douche.
