Obama! What have you done for me lately?

I made a video satirizing the criticism that Obama has been an unproductive president. I hope that you guys enjoy it!



I'm trying to make more. So if you have any tips, comments, or complaints, please tell me!

Could you give me more constructive feedback?

Here is another one I made that purports to be an unbiased Mitt Romney biography song:



Do you hate it, too? If not, would you tell me why you think one works and the other doesn't? Thank you very much!

is really bad. The humor has no rationale. Watch a weird al video. He starts a concept and plays it thru. This is like just a mish-mash of stuff.

Exxample: Wearing ears isnt funny, unless its part of an over all concept.


Heres a video I did a couple of years ago for fun, start with a concept and stick with it. Currently I am co-directing a full length horror movie.



You have lots of potential! Keep working at it!

Just remember execution of the concept is everything

Thank you for your tips!

The reason they wear ears is because they are the party mascots. Doug is a Donkey and Salim is an elephant. But I don't think this is clear enough in the video.

Good luck on the horror film! I just graduated USC with a degree in screenwriting. Production is too much work for me! So keep at it! Thanks for your pointers.
