hello spear man, i saw your first episode and from the looks of it it seems to be something that could be better one of these days. what I'm saying is, this first episode like many are somewhat ameture due to the non experience of making these videos a constant in your life. For the most part this was okay, but i believe if you guys keep on working with it, like better lines, acting, shots, etc. this will surely be a great show.
Now to get sophisticated with it, I'm sorry if I'm being judgmental about it, but anyways the main problems i noticed was the story involved, of course this is just the first episode of this show but the plot of it seemed to constantly change on us, i had to watch it about three times to finally figure out who was who. there was a part where it seemed like a group of purple guys just kill themselves, which is pretty funny for randomness, however it really throws people off when you don't even know the initial plot in the first place. Another thing is the title, it was called Gold and Clone, Now i got the part with the gold guy as captain gold right? but i didn't understand who was clone, now maybe your holding clone off for your second episode which I'm pretty interested in waiting for. which of course adds plot to it for the audience, but perhaps a different title for the episode's name would've been better. The show is called gold and clone, but the episode should have had a different name. so people don't really get confused about it.

Camera angles, like i stated earlier this is one of your guy's first videos, but you guys should work on it a bit, in fact it's not so much the angles rather than the character models moving with the angles. On some parts the shots were too fast and random, like the part with the star wars explosion of the satellite, which was hilarious once you understand what's going on in the episode, but i didn't understand the first time i watched it, apparently if you look really closely and pause it , you'll see somewhat of a detonator on the computer, how it went off i don't really understand, but by the way the commander i guess was his name said "probably sabotage" i just assumed he did it. Anyways though you guys did okay with the shots, just make them a little longer so people understand what's going on, action can be fast, but for the story and movement of the characters make them a little longer.

Speaking of character movements, after watching it about 3 or 4 times i finally figured out who was talking at some parts. I'm sorry but for parts like the commander and gold talking, it seemed like you guys got a little lazy about it. there was a line i noticed where after the explosion the commander moves his head like he's talking, but it was really gold who was talking, which threw me off a bit. Another thing too is that keep your movements of the head stiller to avoid making them move a whole lot, and the bodies too.

And then there is the voice acting, which wasn't very good, but it can be better obviously, there were parts with many hard p's in it so it sounded funny, some of the voices sounded too quiet due to the music being a bit louder, nice music selections by the way. And the lines you guys had didn't really sound realistic to me, but then again you never see guys in suits talking to each other all day either. I'm just saying that the lines are kind of really random. I can't entirely explain the reasons as to why they sound kind of bad, but i hope you guys work on it. make them sound like conversations on a daily basis.

Well i could go on a bit more but I'm pretty sure you guys have the idea that there needs to be changes in it.

Other than that though, a great video for getting started in something big.
