I hate to be that guy but you don't have to watch it, and I doubt very much they will change their way dramatically because you said you personally don't find this very entertaining.Baresark said:Ugh... so, I was just having a conversation with a buddy about these videos and the shit audio quality they all have. They all sound hollow and empty... now this one is the complete opposite, with no ambient audio what so ever.... Both tend to be hard on the ears.
And who writes this stuff? It's not that witty for funny, though I do appreciate the amount of work that goes into these episodes. I am sure you are working on a solitary personal budget.
One of the first things you learn in any film class is to never look directly at the camera. That might have something to do with it.N00bits said:Is Jer refusing to actually look at the camera some sort of joke now? Its absolutely driving me up the wall. I find it painful watching him on greenscreen now. The foley part killed though.
Yeah...that lazy eye is distracting me entirely..TheEnglishman said:I think it would be because of his lazy eye, or something to that effect, his eyes don't do something that ours do or something like that so his vision wanders or something unintentionally. I know he can't drive and has bad depth perception.N00bits said:Is Jer refusing to actually look at the camera some sort of joke now? Its absolutely driving me up the wall.

Except every news/commercial does it, or at least they put the teleprompter close enough to the camera you can't notice the difference. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M14tRsjIO10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NNv2oiWdRUCain_Zeros said:One of the first things you learn in any film class is to never look directly at the camera.

In those cases you are addressing the audience, so I suppose they'd be an exception. Although, that Metamucil commercial with the woman staring unblinkingly at the camera creeps me the hell out.N00bits said:Except every news/commercial does it, or at least they put the teleprompter close enough to the camera you can't notice the difference. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M14tRsjIO10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NNv2oiWdRUCain_Zeros said:One of the first things you learn in any film class is to never look directly at the camera.

I'm certainly sympathetic of Jer has some sort of issue causing it, my ex had something similar, but I then wonder why he gets selected for this sort of thing as much as he does- it always feels like he doesn't know his lines and he's reading them off cards, whether thats true or not.
Heh heh, for a second there I thought you were serious...
