SCUM: The Sitcom
NSFW
I made this!
I edited the first 3 minutes of Scum to make it look like a lame racist American sitcom from the 80's.
I know its wank but its my first project on my new mac thing and I just want some feedback.
Sorry.

The music reminds me of sausages or sutin.
But if you want real feedback, I'd say the best thing you can do is cherrypick parts out of movies that are obviously ripe for comedic intervention, rather than trying to take the first three unfunny minutes of Scum and shoehorn in some random Apple sound effects. Having said that, the rape scene might benefit from some Yaketey Sax. But then everything benefits from Yakety Sax!
The trick is to search for potentially funny stuff first I think. Then make it funny. For instance the Downfall meme wouldn't have worked if they'd only used the first 3 minutes of the show. It worked because they used the most emotionally-charged, dramatic part, and subverted it.
Anyroad I'm pissed. That's my tuppence-worth and I'm off for a big smelly shite out of my bum.

HI LEEMONDUS
My original idea was to cherrypick all the best bits and do just that, but when I imported the movie file into iMovie it corrupted at the point my video ends. So I decided just to do the first 3 minutes. You can see a second in the tape near the end where it pixellates, then it freezes up after that.
When I realised I only had the first 3 minutes to play with I thought oh fuck it and just go slap-dash-fuck with it. Hence the lame Apple sound effects.
That's a good idea tho, doing the Davis rape scene with yakety. Or I might experiment with 025% speed and Barbers Adeligo with ken burns effect on Davis' little red face

Honest feedback?
I think your mixing skills and timing are dead on. But I didn't laugh. Find the right project and I think you will nail it.

thanks
Yeah I know it's lame but the thing with Scum is that there is no music or scene effects in the film so it's easy for a beginner like me to pick up.
I'm thinking of doing a silly verion of Eastenders or something next.

I think it would have been much better if you had tried to make it like a lame racist English sitcom from the 80's. Oh wait, we didn't have any lame racist sitcoms over here, because we're so morally superior.

That's only because we got them all out the way in the 70s

You're right. When Maggie swept to power in '79, racism ended in this country. Fact.

Ah, but 'Allo 'Allo taught us all that beneath the harsh exterior the Nazis where bumbling and loveable incompetents. I've written a sitcom set in Bergen-Belsen. It's a gas!
