This story has a lot to offer... Could see it going in a lot of different directions, keeping those watching engaged to want to see where it goes next.
Loving the production. Well designed campaign and project. Would like to see where this goes in future weeks! Best of luck with final voting guys!
I see this being a great weekly show. I hope you guys make it through and see where you guys go next.Good luck
This is pretty creative, very different. Congrats on making the top 55 and good luck in the rest of the voting. Wishing you the best in the competition, your good friend Sharon.
scary ! 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.
Very creative. Great production value. Like the idea of this show. It would be interesting to see what you guys could do with an actual budget.
With all the bad TV shows about monster hunting, it's refreshing to see something that might just give them a much-needed butt-kicking. Good luck!
I think this show could be super awesome! I love the idea, keep attacking these missions! Funny and cool and yeah, this show is right up my alley! Chupacabras!
Sweet, hope you guys go far!
Great video, great content, great team! You've put in a lot of hard work and it definitely shows. Wish you all the best in this competition.
Congratulations on making it to the Top 55! Creative team, interesting concept. It’s tough to come up with solid product each week so kudos for your hard work. Best of luck moving into the top 15.
Quite the competition from the east to the west coast and such an excellent group of participants makes it hard to pick just 15. I hope CBC gives you each a coffee mug or something for getting to the top 55. Best wishes to all.
Thanks Shannon. Yes, I hope we at least get a coffee mug out of this:)
I like scary shows, but usually while peeking through my fingers, so a horror comedy is just the ticket! You did a good job of hitting all the marks for this week's Hype it challenge. Good luck!
Like your take on this genre and making it a comedy is even better. You guys seem to know where the laughs work which is really hard to do in a concept like this. Wish you all the best.
I like the premise a bunch. That genre is one of my favorites and adding a comedic touch to it is ingenious
I found some funny stuff here but it seems a concept I've seen before; though granted it was not meant to be funny but turned out to be. Hope you also have a hot chick super hero type in mind.
Great comedic timing, nice 'chemistry' between the actors, fun concept. Yeah, this'll do just fine if not awesomely. Also, this video was by far one of the most unique ways to do the 'Hype It' challenge. Bonus points for that.
I think a lot of people will like this spooky funny concept. Reminds me of Ghost Busters. Not really my cup of tea but I think you could do well with it. Good luck for the rest of the competition.
A great recap of what is being offered and explanation of the series. I'm very curious to see what kind of monsters the ream will be going up against during the show, and how many people get eaten along the way.
Well done! You packed in everything the media should know while keeping it entertaining and relevant to the content of the show. The setting is amazing and works so well for this.
If you take the time to make this show, it shows you have a lot of dedication (or extra time on your hands LOL!!) and you can make a funny show out of anything which is really important because this show could be really good!! Good luck!!!
I like this idea! It feels like there is lots of humour to be mined from the paranormal investigators angle and the fact that the main character is a disgraced journalist adds an interesting layer.
I can always appreciate mocking monster hunter shows, even within a show that has monsters. I like the idea that they're hunting monster no one has heard of before, leaves a lot of room for humour.
Hunting monsters is probably one of the most time consuming jobs you can have, and I'm glad you're finally talking out about it. It's very important that someone brings this job to the fore. You can do it, guys!
this is a fun little romp! it reminds me of that WolfCop movie that was in the movie version of this contest. anyways i think the special effects are really amazing. i feel bad for the actor who has to wear it all the time lol
To hunt a monster, spooky scary! I like the horror aspect. Definitely unique in this competition. I'm rooting for you.
As a huge Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan, I 100% think that this has the potential for a series! I think this video was a little dry, but the idea has me wet with anticipation! This would make a great webseries and you guys clearly have the wherewithal and the production values to make it. Great job!
i agree that this is a very creative concept, but as megan said below, i am not sure i would want to watch a whole show of it. but i could definitely see it working as a web series. i would check that out!
Defiantly creative concept. Not sure I would be interested in watching it as a show but can see the creativity behind the scenes. Good luck with the competition!
This actually has a lot of potential! I like that it's "monsters you've never heard of" because that brings an element of creativity that you can really explore with the show. Great idea on where to have your cuts too! Your editing flows really smoothly. Just had a bit of peaking issues with your sound but other than that, I love it! Can't wait to see a full-blown out monster costume!!
Amazing work. super funny stuff and I truly believe you guys will be top 15 with some other great teams. All the hardwork and dedication these teams have presented is outstanding.
Great acting, dialogue, music, story - a winner.
Well done! Loved the build up and intersecting the face to camera and interaction of the characters, and the little promo bits about international audience and the final "meet the monster" hype!
great stuff here, gang. the makeup and special effects is really incredible! i dont think any of the other projects are committing to their production as much as you are. also, the screen shot for the missions 4 and 5 is very spooky and creepy, but in a good way
I think you hit most of the points you needed to for this weeks mission but I would of liked to see a little bit more about yourselves in why you should be covered.
Good delivery of a lot of info but almost too fast. I feel your pain with that task. You covered a lot about your show and the Coup but was hoping to have a little more of your trademark comedy involved.
The balance is tricky here. We want to see the monster but seeing the monster is always disappointing. Maintaining the tension of the chase while knowing we're never going to see what's up will take some clever writing.
great wood shop, whadda ya got, a couple table saws with some blades on them? I wouldn't like to get caught up in those! Seriously though, lots fun, cool shots, loved the opener. My only issue is that I think monsters are either too scary for me or totally stupid. How do you address the balance in an interesting way? I have to admit, I haven't seen any of your other videos because Monsters don't interest me at all.
Great DP work, good acting, lots of peaking on sound though. Over all, great project
Very funny video. Great energy, and a great way to communicate your info without being so dry about it. Love the premise, and I think there's great chemistry here, as well as cross-audience potential. Good Luck!
Very good. Liked it. Great way to communicate your show. Music works well. Good characters, some mystery, some drama. Happy hunting. Want to see what happens next. Good luck.
A well done hype video with a good cliffhanger! I'm just not sure how well the monster idea will translate to a weekly series, especially for adults. It feels a bit too boogeyman-ish. Good luck!
Great job, guys, building suspense as part of your hype video. And the teaser about unveiling a real monster next week... I'll be back!
Well I am not a fan of horror shows i did find this did peak my interest a bit and my funny bone .Although I can't help but put it on the lines of Buffy, and Ghostbusters but it may be funny for awhile I am not sure I would be entertained to watch it for a extended period of time on a weekly basis.but good luck in the future.
What a fun idea! You three guys are likeable, and I liked the teaser at the end with the shadow of the monster. Wonder if we'll actually get to see a monster... Maybe it's all a big tease?
Great work as always guys! Audio was hot in the screaming scenes though which was too bad but doesn't take away from the concept and humour. LOVE that you tease meeting the monster at your love event - genius. There better be pictures!
your project looks interesting! one thing i've noticed about CBC is they aren't terribly interested in shows that do well in a foreign market however this is up for the people to decide not the executives. congratulations on making it to top 55 and good luck on making it to the next level!
I've been watching this project since the top 110 and so far it's been one of my favourites. Keep up the good work guys.
Very interesting idea! Not sure what to make of this one yet but I will definitely be watching. No question this is a completely unique project (and I mean that in a good way, not in a "Wow, Johnny, that school science project is really...um...unique").
Really liked the creativity of this weeks mission. You did well with the pitch while keeping in character and with the story. I thought it was really funny! Good luck with top 15.
Great video! Loved that you were able to introduce the content of the challenge - but used a film technique that highlights the comedy and style of your project. Can't wait to see more from this team!
Cute hype but yeah, WE WANT MONSTERS! :) Good luck with the Top 15
It's true, where's the monster? I want to see all the monsters. All of them. Their names. Their hopes and dreams, where they live, who their parents are. Monster parents. I like you guys...
I want to see the monster!
I guess if Buffy the Vampire Slayer could draw the audience it did there could be room for a Canadian-ized comedy version. Scooby Doo meets Buffy meets Grim ... ay
Such a charismatic cast that can really pull this off! Some great opportunity for satire on those hokey paranormal shows! Best of luck to you all
Hahaa well done! Loved this mission. You guys have a great show here and I would love to see more. I love the music, very catchy, helpe me realize it a comedy. Congratulations on making the top 55 and best if luck going forward. Cheers!!!
Investigators, monsters, paranormal... that could end up being very funny. Nothing serious in that. Love your characters, the way you filmed this and your idea behind all this. Keep up the good work guys!
its like that reality tv show where they were going to give 10 million dollars to the people that find the Sasquatch. Hopefully you guys find your monster without too many hilarious mishaps!
I really like the idea for this show! Comedy-horror-mythology. Wicked. Best of luck!
I need to check out the rest of the shows. This mission is pretty funny. Keep it up gang!
Hello to you,i really like watching your vedeo you made me laugh espacially when you scream good job guys and congratulation on making it tp 55 see you in top 15
This is really good. I love the idea and the actors and the filming seems really top notch. I would totally watch this show, especially if it is as funny as it looks like it is going to be. Really great job guys! All the best in the Top 15 Vote!
I would love to see the week 6 challenge of this concept. This idea is zany enough as is. What would happen when you could take it a different direction? Hopefully you guys can make it into the top 15 so we can see what you did with it. Congrats on top 55 and good luck with this voting period!
I think the scariest monster of all is this Simon R. guy below me. I do like your hype video! I'm in all the way for spooookiness!
Monsters are spooky. Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and I good lucking on making it to the Top 15!!
Good job on the shadow monster as well. I'm excited to see what you guys do for the next weeks mission. With a show concept like this one, I feel like your could really take it in an interesting direction. Keep up the good work, and keep the monster costumes and effects coming.
really enjoyed the shadow monster. good work guys. Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and good luck on making it to the Top 15!!
I *JUST* discovered your team now - holy last minute Batman. Your hype video instantly made me a fan - I've just binged on your videos and I just so happen to have a few votes left. They're coming your way! Good luck team, I really think you have something entertaining and unique here!
Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and good luck on making it to the Top 15!! I love this idea! Something new and bizarre. Keep it up
I love your concept and I really hope we get to see where you're going with this! Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and good luck making it to the Top 15!!
"What are you doing?" "The thing!" Haha nice
I love that there is a monster show in the running but you guys kinda reminded me of Ghostfacers from Supernatural, and I don't think I could watch a half hour of that.
"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!! A lot of thought put into the production for sure
Never seen anything like this pitched as a TV show and I LOVE it! Hilarious concept and a GREAT and INFORMATIVE video this week. Good luck on the Top 15 voting guys!
Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and I good lucking on making it to the Top 15!! I love how weird this is.
You guys are so weird. Its awesome. I would definitely watch this show. And 'Monster of the week' is always fun and exciting!
I really love the idea. A horror comedy would be a fun addition to the CBC and I think you guys have a great team. Would like to see more what the monsters look like, but otheriwse, solid stuff here.
To Hunt a Monster, i like it. very suspenseful, interesting, spooky and quite hilarious. good hype-it, i think you nailed it. what's this international appeal from Alabama to Dorset, England? quite funny i guess. good luck
Congrats on making the Top 55! I would've liked to see a little bit less talk, and more action? Good luck in making it into the Top 15!
Appreciate the effort, saw two kinds of humour in the top 55, what I like and what I don’t. I hope I will see less silly and no beeps from the top 15.
Again, great job! Being someone who is TERRIFIED of the dark, monsters and overall horror, I appreciate the laughing aspect. I think the video is great quality. So congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and good luck on making it to the Top 15!!
That was funny; a horror comedy. This has a lot of room for anything to happen! This could be good. You must have had a lot of fun filming that. Hope you hype event turn out great! Best of luck!
Your Hype It mission is the 29th video I’ve watched in the latest round… and I thought it was one of the best. You guys were funny and engaging, and you still managed to deliver a clear idea of what your show was about and why I should watch it. Great job! Good luck on the next round!
great directing... sweet stuff I like this concept to hunt a monster is funny, lots of humorous moments and I enjoyed watching it. I am a big self help fan myself but I think this show has great potential and best of luck to all future endeavours. Canadian comedy talent coming together is really fun to see!
I really dig the directing in this piece! And the video and sound quality is pretty well done as well. Good luck you guys! I would watch this show no doubt. Congrats on making it this far.
Love that music, so old school cheezy it really sets the tone for the suspense of a bygone era but also a retro feel for the more discerning contemporary fan.
Hehehehe! Well done everyone involved. I also love the umbrella that he was wielding! Really stoked to see where all this goes, and best of luck getting into the top 15!
SO MUCH SUSPENSE! OH MY GOOOOD! Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and I good lucking on making it to the Top 15!!
This is one of my favorite videos that you have created. The delivery is very clever, the chemistry between the characters is more palpable and the jokes are better. Great job!
I think this was my favorite video by you guys. It had good energy and I like how you mixed the show's concept into the way you told us about the show. Great stuff!
Congrats on top 55. I think this is a fun idea abd your video was well done. Best of luck in this weeks voting for top 15!
I don't like having to make a comment about this but i need to to earn votes. Not sure how FAIR that makes any of this. Good luck!
congratulations on making the top 55 teams in comedy coup and best of luck going forward as they try to pick the top 15 teams. Hype it!
I like my funny funny and my creepy creepy. That being said well done on your hype video. I don't know who will make it to the Top 15 at all! but good luck.
I'm so intrigued about the monster. Sometimes it looks like a cat...then it reminds me of The Fly. I'll keep on watching to find out.
I like the idea of the show, I really enjoyed the other videos, but I don't feel like there was so much 'hyping' being done this week. It felt more like a re-cap of what the comedycoup project is, but don't we all already know about it?
Having been interested in the idea of monsters out there that nobody's talking about (yet), this is a super cool idea you guys! Keep it up! I look forward to seeing you in the Top 15!
Consistently great weekly videos. I wasn't huge on the concept 5 weeks ago, but you've won me over. I can't help falling in love with you. Good luck with the Top 15.
I've enjoyed all your videos so far. I find them all quite unique and amusing. I wish you luck in your progress in this competition. It would be nice to see more of your work in the future.
Very funny and creative video. I thought you did a great job in answering this weeks mission. Your concept though still slightly creeps me out, but like I've mentioned before I get scared really easily. Also, good work on the article and the podcast.
Thanks, Christina!
I just discovered your project this week! Neat idea, good hype video. Looking forward to seeing more. Good luck making the top 15!
Thanks Jen! Glad you found us.
Horror-comedy! That is a funny scary mix. I did like your video and your idea. It made me think of other stuff happening on TV about the supernatural. This could be good. Good luck with this project guys!
Thanks Martine! Hope you like our future vids!
Good luck in moving on
Thanks Dianne!
You guys rock! Nicely done!
We think you rock too, Jessica!
Easily one of the best videos this week. I'd love to hear/see more about the unique variety of monsters that will be hunted! Good luck!
Thanks, Kirk. Trust me, we have some crazy stuff in the works. ;)
I like your concept, guys. With the resurgence of zombies in the media, and the possible reboot of Ghostbusters on the way, it seems like a concept people can really get behind. Good stuff, and keep it up!
Thanks Jas! We think so too!
ah this was great! I love the use of shadow for the monster, which I'm assuming was a choice because of budget ;) you say the horror of Evil Dead, the original? the remake? Evil Dead 1 or 2? In all seriousness though, isn't there a horror/comedy series on Comedy Network right now? "Todd and the Book of Evil" or something like that. It'd be good to try to differentiate yourselves from that show, but I'm far more interested in this stuff than what that show is about anyway (a good sign!)
Thanks, Sarah! Hopefully we'll be able to answer all your questions with future vids. ;)
this video was well done it was interesting the whole way through and had some action. your image on the first page of the sell sheet looks a bit like wolf cop.
Thanks, Carly!
I've liked your guys stuff and this was no exception , great job on the HYPE IT UP entry, kept me interested the whole time waiting to see a monster. Good luck Friday night!! Scared to sleep at night NOW
Thanks, Sheldon! If you are in Toronto, come say hello!
Big points for originality. I do want to hear more though. Despite not mentioning the X-files it seems like this show could (is?) a spoof of exactly that. My personal understanding of what's been presented would suggest that it is an X-files format (episodic weekly with some large plot in the background) with a bit of a ghost busters feel.
Thanks, Andrew! I'd say that is a pretty close description.
Great job. I am intrigued and happy to support this project. Good luck making it to the next round. #HypeIt #ComedyCoupHype #BeHyperactive #100Characters
Thanks, Jon!
love.
Thanks Jeffrey!
Excellent video guys! Get's all the necessary info across in a funny way. Nice job on capturing the adventure/danger/zaniness while hyping your project. Best of luck!
Thanks Michael!
I've loved this show from the start. Great Hype video; you are so funny it's scary. Thought your sell sheet was cool because it was so concise. I'll be watching for you in the Top 15 for sure.
Thanks Liz!
There be monsters and you guys have captured such a funny side of the hunt. Keep it up and hope to see you advance to the next level. One way or the other, this deserves to go into production.
Thanks Steve! We think so too!
This was really hilarious guys. And quite upbeat and I always enjoyed your concept
Thanks Steve! We are big fans of you too!
Really well done! Dig the concept & hoping you guys advance, best of luck in the competition, love me some monsters!
Thanks Kris! So do we!
You guys are great...can't wait to see the star of the show "The Monster"...keep up the good work.
How about Supernatural! could be like that too! Liked your video... comedy and scary...and monsters. That spells for trouble and laughs. Best of luck on the next event guys!
Thanks Bernard! And good point!
Always great!
Thanks James!
Way to go guys! Really well done cannot wait to see your monster. Scotty what were you planning on doing with that umbrella??
That's classified.
