Charming; that is my rating for this video after careful consideration and review so that I might meet the one hundred character requirement and earn another merit badge in the comedy coup competition.
I will not be voting for these guys project because I think How To Do Everything Gooder is the best show CBC could choose to air!
Best wishes to the top 55 contestant winners and congratulations on having your efforts recognized in this CBC Comedycoup contest. Good Luck to those making the top 15.
Looks like you've got a really interesting cast together. Looking forward to seeing what else you can get these crazy characters up to. Best of luck!
I'm biased, but I think there’s a ton of talented folk in this town to make a great series happen. Keep pumping out ideas!
Good ideas here, and funny as well. Hoping that you guys getting to the next stage. I like the concept and your talent.
Great job making top 55, There is some stiff competition out there and more than a few laughs. I think you will be in the Top 15 ! Good luck
nothin like it. i really appreciate what you're doing here. youve got serious game and i have become a big admirer. you deserve to win this contest. you are definitely welcome to entertain me any time of the year. keep it up and be the people youve always wanted to be. i do love that tractor!
Great work – looks like this project has a lot of potential to make it to the top 15. Looking forward to your week 6 submission!! The tractor in the week 5 clip is awesome but maybe not historically accurate based on the concept?
Love that there's such a large cast, unlike some that are solo or a duo. Makes it much more interesting and I want to see more of all the quirky characters in Littleton Falls. Comedy is subjective, but with a range of types and colour potential in this series, it's a definite positive. I'll be putting my hard earned votes to use to see more of this.
The Sell Sheet is quite small. Hmm. But I love the subtle humour, and the "dead" (in a good way) performance of the Barbwire girl. The little fellow who struggles to learn his lines is priceless.
Im going to name my first born littleton.
I think this was a good hype video, and it really shows why people might want to watch this and what your concept is. I would certainly be interested in learning more about it.
On the surface I tend to think that this idea just can't work. Though after giving it a look. See a lot of potential. If the guys can get people to tune in, they might have something.
Yay! This is brilliant! Nice use of characters, costumes and real museums to create the humour. I love that the humour comes from the characters rather than over the top jokes. I loved the pioneer woman's sincerity with the barbed wire! Top 15! Top 15! Top 15!
I like the cast in this video - big and funny. Congrats on making top 55 and I hope to see you in the top 15 so I can see what you do next.
Interesting new idea for a comedy series. Quite original. I was impressed with the creativy. I hope you do well on this! Good luck!
I would ALMOST be tempted to buy a TV just so I could watch this.
A lot of care and detail put into this one and it has some good humour. Great job!
Good luck to you this week! Lots of tough competition out there. May the best teams win. Congrats on making it to the top 55 and good luck again in the top 15!
Good job on this week's challenge. Good luck in the remainder of the competition. You have a funny concept here and hope you make it through the next round! Cheers!
yup, you guys deserve to be in the top 15. there's just a good, classic feel to this and i feel warm and fuzzy watching this. funny stuff keep it going please
Good Job Guys keep it up and you'll be top 15 for sure!!!! Really funny stuff! Can't wait to see more!
You had me laughing out loud at the end.
this is a laugh riot!
great acting and a really interesting premise. i think a lot of humour is possible here but i wonder if it is the best idea for a show. it might get boring after awhile IMO
Very solid entry for this week's mission. There's a lot of comedy to be mined out of your setting. Good luck.
I like good acting so I like this show! Go Rosebud! Great mise en scene. Let's add some Aboriginal actors who are part of every historical village. Also a story line where your bosses at the town council decide on a colour blind casting initiative. This is the CBC after all. And the results would be really funny and add some edge.
I like the project, the way the video keeps moving and the talent. Good premise, different setting and ripe with a lot of comic potential. This is worth a top 15, in my opinion.
Interps represent. You have me for the nostalgia, and the promise of charming actors who have to be passionate about history to do their job. Also, such a fun setting
Memories of Barkerville BC and reenacting the battle of the Plains D'Abraham on a school trip to Quebec has made you an instant favorite of mine.
Great Lauren. looking forward to your feedback not his next video!
another late discovery for me. a cool concept, I know a few former reenactors who would love this to relive and groan or laugh over the things that used to drive them nuts (emailing one right after this post!)
i like the video and the seel sheet but i worry about the concept. i am curious to know how much longevity there is to this idea. it seems like theres limited potential here :(
Great idea, everyone has been to something like that. Good luck
Thanks Jay.
Love the concept. Has lots of potential for episodes. Well done guys.
Thanks Wes. We just got word from Franny Damberger. He's available to step and be a part of things.
I'd like to see more of Kelsey. Always loved wandering through these living museum villages, great to see the fun and behind the scenes of it all. Love the concept!
Kelsey, eh? Okay. What do you want to see her do. We are making up this stuff on the fly anyways.
I was looking forward to seeing the badlands and some farm animals... maybe next time.
Littleton has interesting characters. Looking back over the trailers and producer's intro's I feel a connection to the theme of the "story tellin" of the "goins ons of everyone in a small town filled with gossip. You could have heard it out of Calgary hey ! Thats a show in itself.
From a fellow living in southern Alberta I would like to see this show make it into top 15
Thanks Murray. Farm animals, eh? Hmm... Pig, cow? We have a dog that didn't make the last cut, but we put the outtakes on our Littleton Falls Settler Village Facebook page. The dog is hilarious, but her acting was a little to "over-the-top" for our brand of humour.
I actually love the idea of your show and think there is tons of potential for hilarity. So far, i find it sort of funny, but with more work, it could be great!
Yeah. I think we are getting a handle on how far we can go to get laughs and still keep it character-based. That said, this week's FLIP IT video is over-the-top. Not true to the original intention, but very very funny!
great stuff guys. although i do find your sell sheet a little bit cluttered and hard to read. it provides a lot of information, though, so i guess thats good.a nd your video, as always, was top notch
Yep, you are dead on re: our sell sheet. 20 minutes before the deadline, we were spazzing trying to figure out who to upload a PDF. We got it up there, but just under the wire. Obviously we didn't quite upload properly and it is difficult to read. Thanks for you encouragement about our video. Our upcoming one FLIP IT is shot, edited and our best yet. Hope you enjoy it.
this idea seems like there's a lot of room for potential. i have been to these kinds of settler villages on school trips and i always dreaded it because it was so dull and boring haha so i think theres a lot of humour to be found in the staff of such places!
Thanks Steven , there certainly is, seem to always be the cafeteria lady the maintenance man and the historian. we are hoping people will relate to these characters and find [people they know in our siightly over the top representation. comedy through story not story through comedy.
This concept looks like it has a ton of potential and I know the actors! They know their stuff; so this would have people rolling in the aisles! I think we have another big Alberta hit on our hands people. Good work Rosebud!!
Thanks so much Connie! hoping to make top 15 and show you what we got!
Nice video guys. This is a cute idea. I'd like to see more of the concept beyond actors learning lines but I get a pretty good sense of the project. Yeah, cute is the best word I can think of. Best of luck.
Thanks Deanne, have a look Katy next weeks and let me know what you think. cheers
Great concept! It will be interesting to see how this story line progresses. I like the idea, and can imagine how many hilarious moments could happen. The creativity is fresh and appealing. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Cindy, we are defiantly very different than a lot of concepts so its nice to hear someone recognize that. look forward to showing you more.
Probably the best, most concise presentation of the concept yet. We finally see the characters/actors and the setting in more detail. Most of the jokes are sharp, despite a few that fall flat. Good to see the series finally come into focus in one of these videos.
Thanks for the feedback Ben R.
This is so funny... The pee from my pants is everywhere!
we are truly sorry. if only we had warned you!
So glad to continue to see the depth of these creators. Each video has allowed us to get deeper into the concept and I'm more excited than ever to find out where this series can go. Interesting characters and the situations for them are full of possibility.
We think so too Nathan! thanks for the support!
Awesome stuff guys!! Good luck! Totally with you on this!
Thanks Stephanie! Having fun working hard!
You guys did an amazing job this week. Great laughs - good characters. Good pace. Expressions are priceless. It's a town I'd visit. Good luck. Hope to see you go through the next round.
Thanks Sandra. Make it so!
Good luck in the contest. The video is well done. It’s getting to be a tight contest. I wish you all the best. What’s next if you don’t make the cut? You should check out your local film festival.
Thanks for the well wishes!
I like the idea - yes, so many actors have run the gamete of character acting! Imagining giving your 3 minutes dialogue your whole heart for an entire summer cracked me up :)
Thanks Crystal. we aim to crack.....ummm. ya.
Good luck. You have worked very hard and comedy coup has a big debt to pay to all the teams that participated.
Thanks Michael, Every team has put so much in, but its been a fun thing!...mostly.
This is a cute concept. If the characters were really engaging and relatable, this is something I could see myself watching. Good luck in the vote this weekend.
Thanks Kristyna, it all hangs on the characters for certain!
I think this show would appeal to a narrow audience for the setting and type of humour that you are using. I am not sure that there would be enough to go on for a full series or multiple series show. Good luck!
We look forward to showing you more Alisa Have a look at my response to Courtney just just below, we believe this will speak to your comment.
Ha! So true! Soooo prairies. Clever idea :) Good luck this weekend!
Thanks a lot Magdelene, its gonna be fun!
I really think the setting and the concept has so much comedic potential! This show is definitely relatable for anyone who has ever acted in or visited a historic town - but how do you plan to appeal to a wider audience? Looking forward to seeing more from this team!
Thanks Courtney, in answer to your question, the characters in the actual show are archetypal. Although not everyone has been in these situations everyone knows the "types" of characters in this show. maybe you met them at a summer camp, maybe they directed your choir, a boss, an aunt, uncle mother brother, friend. The audience will relate to these people even more than they may or may not the situation that they are in. Make sense?
Oh, how I wish I could be at this good 'ol Alberta pancake breakfast, even in the middle of Nov. Great idea for a fan hype/sneak peak. Another unique idea that draws your audience right into the middle of your project. Good luck guys!
Thanks! Should be great! lots of good ol fashioned toppings coming out! we know you're with us in spirit thanks for the good wishes!
Love the setting. Coming from the prairies, I can relate to the old buildings and the history being unfolded in this video. Love the costumes and characters.
Thanks Sharleen! Happy to show off some beauty! thanks for the feedback on characters too! we sure love our actors and crew, literally hundreds of volunteer hours in already!
I have known about Rosebud theatre for ages and it's so great to see the concept for this show. I agree with a previous comment - you don't need the bathroom shot. You're funnier with the sweetness of your characters and their palpable ache to make it to the big times. Best of luck! :)
Thanks Cat. Appreciate the feedback!
I think you look like a funny bunch for sure. I keep going back to your videos to see the project develop. However, I am not sure that this type of comedy/setting is something I would tune into but best of luck to your team in top 15.
Thanks Marilyn, hope to change your mind with the next couple videos!
Kelsey, James, Mike, Jaybo, Royal. You guys are funny! Jordan, is that how you pronounce 'coup'? Great stuff!
James nailed it, eh?
Does it always come down to someone sitting on a toilet? Seriously. People sitting on toilets is way over-represented in this competition. [End of rant] I think your concept is promising. Wishing you luck with it.
Thanks Cheryl, I think that will most likely be the last toilette shot, at least in the foreseeable future. Thanks for the feedback!
First of all, I have to say; Rosebud has been an inspiration to me for a while now. For a place as small as Rosebud to produce such great theatre and to attract such a large number of guests...it's amazing! Thank you! You guys are doing great work and you're all super creative. Keep it up!
Thanks Matt, Ya pretty special place when i cal make three phone calls and have 6 actors in set within a half hour to shoot the next bit while the sunset is just right. couldn't do it without the community here!
Very interesting video and thought process. It sure has some many true facts in there, which is what makes it. good luck to you this round!
thanks! we didn't think we had to stray too far from real life events to find some quality hilarity. glad you're appreciating it!
Great job guys and congratulations on making it to week 5, looking forward to seeing what week 6 brings. Best of luck
thanks!! help us get top 15! look forward to your thoughts on this next video!
Behind the burlap curtain! Interesting concept. Looking forward to seeing where it is headed and to see if this team makes it to the next round. Good luck to you in the next round.
You Guys Are AWESOME!! :) everyone should vote for these guys! This is Hilarious!
The set you have is definitely a find and I like that you've highlighted it in the Hype video. The sell sheet could use some work, just some tightening and visual redesign. But the video is sharp, and I like the premise you're working with. Keep it up.
Thanks Andrew definitely one of our biggest assets. see sheet will be re done thanks for the feedback!
I enjoyed your video, and could see this being really funny. You seem like a great team and must have lots of fun together. Good luck with Top 15!
Katie we laugh a lot... A lot a lot. help us get to top 15!
I am only commenting on the good projects and you guys definitely make the cut. I can see that this show will make us appreciate the work that goes into following the dream of becoming an actor. I love the setting and costumes. Best of luck to you.
Karin thanks so much! We are working our tails off for you guys! its great to have positive feedback to look too when its 3 in the morning and you're editing something to make the timing work or fine tuning a concept at 8 am.thanks!
Interesting concept, I think you are unique and have a good cast. That will get you far. Good luck on making it into the Top 15!
Thanks Ben! we need more than luck! appreciate the positive feedback!
lovely setting.
You guys, what can I say? As someone who has worked in jobs like this I TOTALLY get it and I'm jealous I didn't think of the idea first! ALBERTA TEAMS 4 LYFE!!! Good luck in the Top 15 voting guys!!
Leah! You've been great! best of luck to "Fictions" and all the other Alberta teams for sure! Hope your event goes well! see you in the top 15!
I watched all 55 tonight, you're a contender...
Thanks Cam! hoping to knock it out of the parks and recreation!
Atta boys! I'm lovin the quirky that keeps showin up!
wait till you see this next one...
Interesting concept
Other than Ms. Frying Pan I don't think anyone I saw was a character? I still like the general idea but haven't seen anything in the way of characters. "A dysfunctional group of misfits who work/live together" is the same exact storyline of a bunch of other projects.
Great location find, I hope you guys get a good overall feel for what tone you want for this show in the last couple weeks of the competition.
Very good concept! Loved the video, and the ones that came before as well. I want to see Littleton come to life on the screen! I've been hooked since the teaser!
Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and good luck on making it to the Top 15!! I really enjoy the set behind this! Great feel to it.
Nice ensemble and I appreciate the subtle humour. The concept of having a group of likeable characters in the middle of nowhere has a Corner Gas ring to it. liked it.
I enjoyed the behind the scenes look at this show. Congratulations on making the Comedycoup tiop 55 and best of luck for the top 15.
I love the set you are using (is it really an old movie set?) and the whole premise of the show. The characters are interesting and the opportunities for humour abound. Good luck in advancing to the next stage of the competition.
I like this idea. I like the fact that this is the first time you are trying comedy. We have to help new groups out. Congrats on the top 55 and good luck for the top 15.
The Characters are cool! Really neat, but how long can it last?
Love this idea and the setting...very funny characters.
Haha. Kelsey makes me laugh. Most everyone else did too- but yah. Kelsey. Funny! ...okay, AND Royal running and laughing. Hah!
Good job explaining your concept. The setting for the show offers an endless string of ideas for future episodes. It's unique and has potential for a lot of funny.
Thanks Sabrina, theres a lot of laughs curled up in these places, can't wait to show you some of them! You'll help us do that ya?
Super charming video guys. You guys hooked me. Love how much joy buddy got out of dropping 'littletons' into his speech. And yes, my first acting gig ever was at a Heritage Park doing interpretive scenes :) (sad but true)
well then Bruce you know what we are talking about! can you make it to our event? Gonna have some time to share some war stories of the good old days...or bad old days.
Thoroughly enjoyed seeing your cast and crew throughout this video. I thought you kept it funny and managed to explain your concept quite well. It would great to see more of your show in the future!
Well Beth you know what to do! Voting for top 15 starts on my birthday! give us a few dozen votes and you don't need to get me a present. deal?
I appreciate the subtle and not so subtle humor, sniffing shirt, "who wore this costume last". ..down to the local telegraph office to contact us. Keep expanding out those little details to give us more to vote on for the next round.
you bet! this next mission is a doozy curious to here your thoughts on it!
I feel like this would be a really heartwarming show to watch, kinda like Parks And Rec. Glad we got to see more of the characters!
Thanks Natalia, thats what we are going for. wait till you meet the rest of the gang!
Enjoyed this video the most yet. Lots of ideas percolating in this one that I hope we get to see further developed.
Well , Janice this partially lays in your hands. throw us a vote or ten on the 6th to help get this show to top 15! #shamelessrequestforvotes
I thought you did a great job at explaining your concept and found your video very informative. I also liked that you managed to throw some little jokes in there as well. Great work guys. I read your event and now I feel like pancakes, I'm sure you'll have a good time.
Thanks for the encouragement Christina!
I think this is a strong concept. But you guys just keep selling the concept. I still don't really know any more in depth things about story or characters. I love the look, love the idea. But also, you've got to stop saying "Comedy CooP" Please. Unless it's a joke. Doesn't seem like it.
Coop? Next time we say it be better be holding a chicken. Thanks for the constructive ideas, Kristi.
Your sell sheet could probably benefit from a redesign. I still love the concept and the ensemble seems amazing, I just think it needs a different marketing technique. This show sounds like it could be so good but the videos just don't do enough to sell it to me. I think this a common problem for comedy shows in general. Look at Arrested Development and Corner Gas, both very funny shows with marketing that didn't do them justice, both gone too soon. I really want this project to succeed because the concept is hilarious and there are some funny lines in here...maybe just a question of editing.
I appreciate you critique. We are finding our way through the "marketing" side of this. We are learning tons of stuff about all the sides of developing a project.
Nice job of using clips to annotate your descriptions of what the show will be about. This is a community that seems like it would be full of big characters and great opportunities for stories about showbiz and interpersonal relationships... best of luck!
Stacey, you are bang on. The town we live in has under 100 people, and 80 of this are artists. We've go great backdrops, and stories to drawn on indeed!
I was just wandering the projects and came across you guys. I really like this show! Your Hype video did a terrific job of explaining where you'll take it and the jokes had me hooked. Pancakes, eh? Almost worth the drive from Sarnia!
I'm glad you found us. We appreciate the support.
I think this week's video is really well done - congratulations! I'll be checking in here regularly from now on. You guys have me hooked!
Thanks Janet. These Comedy Coup guys really hit us with a doozy of a task this coming week!
Just while I'm still laughing about the "burlap curtain," you hit us with the "telegraph office" line. Great video - very funny, yet gets the concept/format idea across. Keep up the good work!
Happy to tickle your funny bone!
You guys did a great job describing what the show was about and even had a . few laughs in it too. liked the use of the telegraph for contacting. Good luck with your event on Sat, everybody loves pancakes.
How can you not? Thanks for the comment!
Captures and lays out the core idea of this soon-to-be award winning show!!
thanks, Kathy, love the feedback!
This is a wonderful, rich show with lots of character development and great humour. I'd love to visit the "town" and get to know these folks. So you need to move ahead for that to happen. Good luck!!!
thanks for the wishes! we're doing what we can!
So looking forward to seeing more! I agree that everyone doesn't even appear to be acting, they are the real deal! :)
Now how to get to Littleton is my question? Hoping it's just down the road!
Ya just go for five miles east, west at the 45. north for 1.6 km. you'll see it on the left. ;)
I know you guys are right on script but I am not finding this funny. I am sorry to say, I am bored by it. Good luck .
To each their own John, its wonderful we don't all have the same sense of humour. Cheers!
Great video guys! Sell sheet could use some formatting and graphic design TLC:)
Thanks for the feedback!
Looking forward to meeting Littleton Falls, FICTIONS and the other Alberta Teams who’ll be at the "PARTY" November 7th at the Plaza Theatre.
Sorry to disappoint but littleton falls team won't be at the party on the 7th I'm afraid. Hosting a buckwheat pancake dessert party here in rosebud on the 8th though come on out!
Good video guys. I think it really captures what the show will be about both in explanation and demonstration. Is that 100 characters yet?
I like the setting it's very unique!
A
Whoa. There's another Natalie G below me in the comments...ANYWAY, love it. Too true, too true... I've had many of these moments. Playful, and nicely executed with Mike and Kels and James and everyone. The overall tone is great, and I love the outhouse button at the end.
Thanks for the feedback Natalie's!
Ok this episode was funny, eventhough there are no bagels and people from New York...you know what I'm getting at. I think you guys are great. Super funny and you practically don't have to act...you're just like these people!!!!
Little Towns...littletons. Corny puns with spot on timing are what I live for! I think Littleton is in need of that one employee's kids who is always hanging around bothering people. Also you can't forget how employees have to constantly push for donations.
oh those kids are in the script have no fear! as are the grant searching schemes!
This looks and sounds great! Hope to meet you lovely folks sometime!
well ya! you working on one of these puppies too Sarah? come on out to our hype it event and meet the whole team! details on Facebook page!
I liked the video, it made me laugh!
Great! thats what we are going for here! thanks
Thank you to all the cast we rounded up and for Lois giving us the key to the Rosebud Centennial Museum. And thanks to the fans for the support. You like us. You really like us. Royal - Littleton Falls Settler Village.
Liked this video. Good concept.
Thanks Coby, appreciate the feedback
cute video. I think you put the sell sheet in the wrong format though its pretty small.
thanks Carly, some formatting seems a little wrong for sure, if you click on file it is easier, hope this helps.
It's great to see a lot of familiar faces in a great town that's basically a prefabricated movie set, but we're five videos in, and I still have no idea WHO this show is about. Obviously it's an ensemble cast, but I don't know a single thing about any of the characters, except that they're all actors and interpreters ... and I already knew that. Sorry, my friends, but it feels like you're coasting here.
interesting premise, but as far as hype goes this video didn't really get me excited about the show. Could use a bit more punch in my opinion.
Glad the concept was clear, and thanks for the feedback Kaine. How can we get you excited.
