Good concept; 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.

Good luck with the next stage. I found it a bit loud, didn't like the sound levels. Good filming, though, and an idea that will attract lots of fans. Well done.

Good luck on your show! I have seen lots and this one is looking good! I got to go and see all of your videos from week one. I'm so excited to see you in the top 50s. The best thing about the show is the most important thing. I don't know what to say that I have no idea why I have no clue what weekend with my life. so much fun for the next day two of the best year for the best of luck all of the year and the a I don't know why what I want do you think you can do is to be a great way to the best way to get a new phone and I don't know what I want to go to bed the rest of your the one I have a good idea day and of the year and a few days ago and now it crashes every time we are all the time I have no clue what to wear it was not the same thing time I try and get it right away with the best thing ever I is the most recent one day and the rest of the day before my alarm goes of my favourite songs on this album has to go back out to my friends are so much for a few years.

Very interesting how you decided to hype up your show. I really like the actress trapped inside the building. Bad dream for sure for her hahah. All the best in this competition

I think I need to go back and watch your videos from the start, because I'm just not getting it, sorry. I wanted to see a larger crowd to make it somewhat more involving. Not sure what the connection to Mars is, either, but then again I may not have caught it from just this week's video. Best of luck to Mars2 on the rise to the finals.

Way to go on your comedy coup efforts to date. You have succeeded in making it to the top 55 and that is something to be proud of. Already the competition is getting tough as the quality of the competitors gets refined. Best wishes for making it to the next level.

Haha! Nice! But what was I just watching? Is this a show about 5 protesters that yell "boo"? As a stand-alone video for the media, this is super confusing.

I love the notion of approaching the video with the style of the show in mind, but in the case of this Hype It video, I think it ultimately failed to give me much to get hyped about. Having said that, there's a lot to love about this concept and this team -- the characters seem instantly likeable, which is a major bonus in this competition. I hope to see more.

It's just getting funnier and funnier at this point and for a series of 90-second videos, I'm already amazed with the production values your team is showing.

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!! And I tend to agree with Karen R with respect to the colour and sound :-(

Sweet, hope you guys go far!

Heya Youse! I watched your stuff, and voted for yaz, and I like your arse....opps, I mean your art!

Hey guys cheer up! You made it to the top fifty five and you will make it tomorrow too!, keep up the good work and I look forward to nine o'clock tomorrow night and seeing you there! Whoooohoooooo,

Love that you shot downtown Calgary. However the colour grading or quality of sound or something, did not connect the outside to inside scenes. I can look past it, but it would have brought me in to have solved that.

I have to hand it to the people who put this competition together. In a million years I never would have checked this out on my own account, but they make it a game with points and voting and all that. Suddenly in checking out videos like this and quite enjoying them. I hope I see this able in the top 15. Heck I think this one could even make it all the way.

i'm pretty stoked about this, actually, i am from russia which is basically a land of astronaut-rejects looking for work (so now i work in the theatre). the struggle is real. keep going bros

I love the sci fi genre and adding a comedic touch to it is genius!

Great acting and a great premise. Definitely some funny and original stuff in there. Good luck on making the next round!

Congratulations guys for making it to top 55.Very interesting video .Keep up the good work and good luck in top 15 Way to go Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!

nice sell sheet. certainly an original concept with all the Canadian space stuff gong on in the past few years. not sure there's 5 years of comedy in the scenario. not sure there's one season. as a journalist the vid doesn't give me much copy

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!

The protest idea for the video was interesting and original. The sell-sheet also looks great. It’s clear and attractive and is a great example of things being simple, but effective.

Great production value and angle - we all would never hope our show ideas drum up protests, no mater how small.

Great concept and the production value is way above a lot of the other projects. This video proved you also have compelling characters and good humour. Best of luck in the rest of the competition!

Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and good luck on making it to the Top 15!! Great visuals and filming quality! Hope you guys continue the great work no matter what the outcome!

i like the style of the videos, visusally they look really appealing, but i just worry that i am not too engaged with the concept, it seems a little bit too sci fi for me. but the videos are funny and have me laughing and i guess thats the main thing.

I like the approach you guys took for this mission. Good job! 2+ points for the forward moonwalk. Hope to see you guys in the top 15! Keep up the good work. TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!

funny video this week, probably one of your best, but i still am not sold on the concept. im not a sci fi fan and so i worry about whether or not i could really get behind this. 90 second clips are okay but a full episode, i might not be interested in. you produce good stuff, though, its only your idea i have a qualm with

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!

I think that this video is better than other ones that i ve watch , the fact that you guys are actually presenting something, acting , having a artistic line and all, i laughed at the moonwalk thing that was quite funny.

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.

This seems interesting and appeals to my science side :) Glad to see another video that is smart comedy instead of the slap in your face kind

Everything that comes out of this guys' mouth is funny - without being offensive. I was at his charity event last night and laughed my ass off. Obviously referencing true stories (friends, relatives, neighbours in the crowd nodding their heads throughout the monologue) with bang on vocal impersonations - basics for the perfect sitcom - and I don't currently watch any sitcoms - but I want to watch this one.

I really liked the way you worked this hype video. Unfortunately as a late follower I have no idea what your concept is. The acting, I like. The varied characters, I like. The writing, I like. The camera work, I like. I just don't know what you are about!

Hope to see this make it through. I like the concept and think it is very well executed. well done mars 2 and good luck

seems like a cute and interestinf concept but im worried ho wlong can it go on? how much potential is there here? some of the other projects seem like they could go on indefinitely without being tired but yours just doesnt, im sorry. just my opinion though.

Cute video, I like your concept and I can't wait to see more! Sarah especially really hits my comedy funny bone. As much as these hype videos are fun though, I'm finding I wish the competition let you guys just upload more scenes from your series!

This concept makes me laugh. The epic-ness of space travel, the hope of exploration, the danger of a new frontier and the reality that it's all just pretend. Lots of opportunity for reversal and desperation, hope and humour.

Mars Two continues to be funny and strike a great tone! Nice use of on location filming, can't wait to see what the future holds for Mars Two. Hopefully your mission is approved!

I bet you shot this on Saturday, the same day as the Stampeders/Winnipeg game. Hats off to Irrate woman at bottom of stairs. Very funny.

great concept - congratulations on making it to the top 55! I like how you are able to articulate your purpose and I hope to see you in the top 15!

I like that you convey a good sense of your comedy and tone in such a concise video. I don't have quite as clear a sense of your premise, but I'm interested to see how it plays out.

I follow and like this project even though I often think that the comedy drags because the tone of these videos are weirdly heavy. I still look forward to more videos though! Good luck!

Congratulations on finishing this weeks hype it video. I wish you had made the speech even more awesome and epic so that when the crowd still boo'ed it would have that extra funny moment. Otherwise fun concept!

Scifi is a fun genre, but I find sometimes its a bit too crazy to follow. I like your hype idea, there is a lot of hype surrounding Mars, so tapping into that would probably help hype your show, good luck guys!

What a lot of people don't realize is that a mission to mars is about us, it's about all of us and the future of humanity.

Good luck. You have worked very hard and comedy coup has a big debt to pay to all the teams that participated.

I'm liking this concept for sure and I'm digging the tongue in cheek delivery of this week's video. Good luck in the vote this weekend. I'm looking forward to more from you guys.

-Infinite Possibilities-

Good characters and good idea for a project, but I am not sold out on Science Fiction. I have watched a few other of your videos and had some good laughs though. Keep it up you guys, and good luck on top 15!

Interesting concept. I'm not sure how this will fair on TV, I can see it being quite good at first but then fade out as the ideas begin to fade.

I'm totally Calgary biased but the pilot shows from Calgary are so good! Mars 2 is another great example of the talent that exits in my fair city. It needs some tightening but good effort!

Considering it's a mission to Mars, this doesn't seem BIG enough. More extras in your media scrum, some colour correction on your video, maybe some special effects. Good luck on your mission!

Forward moon walking for the win!

Looks like you have a good bumbling team - just right for comedy. The hype video didn't really grab me, but it intrigued me enough to look at the previous videos and I am on board. I hope that you advance to the next round.

This project had a core of a great idea but the execution leaves something to be deserved. We've seen media scrums and protests before but they aren't the same thing. If it had been a protest that you were calming then it would have worked, or it had been run as a press conference with press who have tasted blood. This amalgam left me lost.

This project looks really funny and is an interesting idea. Congratulations on making the Top 55. Best of luck!!

I absolutely LOVE it when a team plays the underdogs. I loved this. The guy in the beard had a great expression near the end. Really funny. "It's not about us!" That was really good. I really enjoyed this.

I love this idea! Its especially poignant when we're actually looking to start a Mars Colony. Love the character dynamics too! Good luck you guys!

its a funny premise and i am interested to see how it will be executed. i missed this project over the last few weeks so this was my first glimpse. Happy to see my hometown representing. good luck for the final 15 ladies and gents.

good job this week. This video was funny, entertaining, and informative. It was different from most of the other projects. Good luck.

Great job guys and congratulations on making it to week 5, looking forward to seeing what week 6 brings. Best of luck

Mars is one of my favourite planets, and I'm glad to see it's getting the recognition it deserves. I hope you make it to the top 15, love the show!

i really like this idea and it has a great crew working on it. Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and good luck on making it to the Top 15!!

Too funny! What an interesting idea! Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and good luck on making it to the Top 15!!

I love this idea, and the writing's really clever! I'm excited to see where it goes! Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and good luck making it to the Top 15!

I like the group of loveable losers you've created. Having your lead mimic the teams actions at the conference from the room was really clever. Another week well done. Keep 'em rolling.

I found it unbelievable that a door would lock someone in instead of out of a room but I did enjoy some of the script here. "She's probably dead." Then right away " what I'm saying is there's hope."

Funny clip and funny idea. I'm going to take a look at your other videos. Good luck with the top 15

I liked some of the humor featured in this week's video, and the idea of giving a press conference to a group of people who hate you was really funny. That said, the full minute and a half was pretty much a (funny) joke in regards to why the media should cover Mars Two; I was hoping near the end we'd actually hear some reasons as to why it should get coverage. However, it's still one of the more unique ideas in the competition. Good luck with the Top 15!

"This one caught my eye out of pure chance and I am super happy that it did! Loved the effort you guys are putting into this! The writing is nice and I can't wait to see what unfolds in the voting process."

Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and I good lucking on making it to the Top 15!! Can not go wrong with someone doing the moon walk

The clip is entertaining and has lots of energy, but it did not give me a sense of the total concept being sold, There was a lot of hype, but not sure about what.

I liked this video and based on your other videos you earned your spot in top 55. Congratulations and I hope to see more from mars 2.

Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and I good lucking on making it to the Top 15!! The moon walking sold me!

Ohhh guys!! I'm so excited for our event on Friday! Honestly, how can it get better than a bunch of comedy writers sharing a screen and a stage for a night of hilarity and beer!?!

i really like this video. You took a different spin on it than most other projects. I like the little moon walk dance in the middle of it. sell sheets are solid too.

Congrats on making it into the Top 55! The pacing was really good and the cast seems pretty cool. Wish you guys all the best in the next round of voting!

Really liked the forward moonwalk, have never seen this before. Interesting concept and hopefully wii attract a big audience. Good luck with the show.

Being a person who is a fanatic about space and follows Chris Hadfield and all of his work avidly, I really appreciated this good nerd, space comedy! I really like the aesthetics of the set, very well done. Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and good luck on making it to the Top 15!!

this video was really good. it was very entertaining and I liked your spin on this weeks challenge very inventive. your sell sheet is well done as well and I hope the best for your team in the competition.

Nice work on the sell sheet. I really really really like the aesthetic. Keep up the good work. The video was a bit lacking for me, but I also haven't seen any of the other stuff from your prject so who knows.

I love the characters. The leader of the group is totally believable, and all the jokes surrounding her predicting her member's actions made me laugh. Nice touch on the extra angry female mob member. Good luck!

Bravo team Mars 2 - catching up on all your videos. This is a super fresh concept. You're demonstrating consistent comedic timing, high production values - I also notice the guest directors, great move - and a very funny premise. I can see this on the CBC for sure!

Congrats on making it into the 55. I liked the pacing and the cast seems solid. I'm not really sure what the hook is here though. Good luck with this.

I think it's very clear what this show is about. My gut reaction to this is: five people in a room for five years is a tricky sell. One of the things I'm looking for you to address is how to make sure the show has variety (I'm sure you tackled this in your Series Bible).

I'm not sure the fake press conference was the most effective way to build press for your concept. I liked what you talked about in an earlier mission when you mentioned the community of space nerds who are into this. It was fun to see a group of friends making a video together as it began to snow.

So many talented people in this group! I love it! Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and I good lucking on making it to the Top 15!!

Good work Mars Two! I like how awkward every character is in this show. Can you incorporate more science/nerd jokes?

Haha! It is quite funny, keep up the good work and maybe you'll get through!

Cute! I hope the blending of the real-world need to get hype for the comedy video project and the show world works for others as well as it worked for me. I really feel like there's a great chemistry in the cast that carries off each mission so far.

I don't know why I haven't seen this project yet, but I'm sure glad I did just now. Hahaha.

You managed to totally confuse me about what this show's about, even though you did it somewhat entertainingly.

I admire that you guys are hanging in there and going for it. The rejection theme is fertile ground for lots of self-deprecating comedy. "They're bitter, they're trapped, and they seriously can't even. So just don't." Love that line. Good luck guys.

Mars Two sounds like a really good concept, and so far I see it being executed fairly well! I must admit, I'm also a little curious to see just what would happen were a Mars Three thrown into the mix...

I thought it was a nice change to have the other members of the cast in the spot light. Seems like a very creative concept you have going on here. I wish to see more of your project in the future.

I really like your project. I wouldn't say this was your strongest video, but still very solid. You guys have a great concept here. It's truly unique and would make a great show.

First video of yours I have seen. Not too sure what your show is about. Like the story you told. Liked the sincere guy and the media's reaction. Thought the media could have made more comment on the media by acting like media more.

Hahah! Loved the crowd and the moment they took before booing again! Almost saw it coming...just kidding, totally took me by surprise! Aaand: I love surprises!
I like your humour: it's...different, it's a good different, the kind that makes, at least me, want more! Oh, and loved how u used real crowd leaving to suggest people leaving the press conference...cooool! That was, or is soo smart!
Yes, Mars Two, great work!

Your video as always very professional almost too professional but maybe that's just me.. Love the final reaction from the crowd though. Thought you had them then you didn't. Good luck with the rest of the compatition.

Interesting video, definitely creative and funny. I didn't see how it explained your concept very well to the media though, I think it kind of avoided this weeks mission a bit. Seems like you guys are having a good time with it though.

I feel like the Borg is going to end up being behind this entire contest, don't you? At the final 5 show, that's what they're going to reveal- for so sure. Good job! Locks are hard.

From the Sell Sheet - I love this:
"They're bitter, they're trapped, and they seriously can't even. So just don't"

Funny but a little light on the details of the show. I like what I've seen before this and would have liked to see more. I does show off the feel of the comedy the group likes and how the cast fits together but there is so little about space, try watching the clip again assuming you didn't know this was a space comedy show.

This is great! Solid editing, good acting, funny concept and—most importantly—silly protest signs. I haven't seen any of your other missions yet but this has definitely intrigued me.

this was really well done! it was original as so far based on the week 5 videos I have seen it is a first of its kind. I liked the dance interlude in the giant orange jacket very funny. sell sheet was great, not too wordy and eye catching.

Your video was done great, had a good vibe to it and also was funny. This is one of the better week 5 entries that I've watched so far( still lots to watch yet), keep at it and good luck Thursday with your HYPE IT event

I don't know you guys, the under-sell tactic may have been a little heavy-handed, and it might have worked too well - I'm feeling a little underwhelmed by the project after this video... Tall fellow with the beard still cracks me up though!

I really like your video, its a cute concept. And I feel like I'm being nit-picky, but I don't see how you got people hyped with this? Maybe its just me? Still got me smiling though :) Hope to see more!

Looking forward to meeting Mars 2, FICTIONS and the other Alberta Teams who’ll be at the "PARTY" November 7th at the Plaza Theatre.

I was the fat kid in class ... so I fully understand the art of self-deprecation to get laughs. Or pity. And either one can get you votes. Well played... ;) Think you guys are definitely into the top 5.

Also one of your mob members slayed me! front right side i think, a very funny individual. full on laugh out loud.

I get it. i got it. I chuckled. Great work you guys, how about that weather! shut our filming down for a day. way to power through. great stuff.
-Littleton Falls

At one point, I am standing wordlessly in the back row of the mob. I just realized that on the rare occasions when I am not shouting and my mouth is closed....I bear a slight resemblance to Karl Lagerfeld. Not sure how I feel about that.

yeeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh...... Sooooo where's the part about the hype event? You're lacking in the information department here, Mars 2. Nooooooot Greeeeaaaaaaaat... 5 points for making a video though.

Moon walking!!! Woot, woot!

Great video guys!

I don't like any of this! Just kidding, I totally do! Great forward moonwalk, Mandy. haha, love the posters and the ultra-timely splices.
