EDIT: Critique on Second Episode
I think it's pretty well done. I enjoyed that. Most of the visuals are good, and even though the camera is handheld, it's not too shaky, so it's not too much a distraction. However, I would definitely start sticking that on a tripod and actually composing more shots. It's pretty sloppy if you want to get technical. But it's not horrible by any means. It works...
I like it so much...I want it to be better...let's just put it that way.
The lighting needs some work. RIght now, it's too flat and uninteresting. Also, many of the shots are too dark. I don't see much rim lighting on your actors either...give that a try. Also try splashing some color on the backgrounds behind the actors...not sure how many lights you actually have...but invest in a few peppers and a few can lights...and you will be all set. At least 4 lights...3 for your standard 3-point lighting and one for fun splash and background pop.
Your sound is OK...but there really isn't much design, so I'll not critique that. It could be improved upon with more foley and musical scores...
The acting is good, but nothing extra ordinary. The clown guy is pretty good...but doesn't quite pop. I can see that he is playing the everyday man, humdrum killer...which is cool...but I think more could be done. I like how you guys play multiple roles (killer and victim)...and it's not too noticeable.
The website is slick.
Throw some dolly shots in there man...give it a try. Take your time. Compose your shots. Use actual light setups that create a dynamic atmosphere while lighting your actors from front and behind.
Nice start. EDIT: I'm going to go watch the *first* ep now.
