I apologize if this is not very good. It felt a little rushed and not as polished as my last ones, but I was a little disappointed that nobody helped with any comments. I wanted to do at least one more set of polls, but I didn't get the feedback I had hoped for.
So, I would really appreciate any feedback on the whole vote-a-caption idea for the future. (i.e. did you like the idea? what could I do differently next time? should there even be another vote-a-caption? etc)
That was really good, you used everything given and made it work. The cutting-off scene was powerful.
ReplyDeleteI think that this was cool and that you should do it again. My suggestion is to use some of the polls that were used for this vote-a-caption, but remove the most-voted options. It'll be interesting, no?
Maybe polls for the conclusion or plot development too.
I think the idea is solid and the result was definitely a good caption. I do feel like you may have lost people a bit with the number of polls before the payoff.
ReplyDeleteVoting is fine, but too many/too specific votes dilutes everything.
ReplyDeleteLet me preface the following by saying that I don't want, in any way, to discourage you from making captions. In fact, I want to do the exact opposite - make it so that you make as many of the captions I'm used to seeing from you as possible. Here it goes - I don't like the voting for captions. Although I can see why you came up with the idea - it sounds like a good idea to have the audience participate - I think it takes away from the spontaneity and surprise that we all love in a good caption. I can tell you that part of what makes me look forward to your next caption is that i have no idea whats coming, and participating in voting and seeing the caption gradually develop kills that for me. Let me put it to you this way - if i looked at every single one of your captions and was asked to pick my top ten, these latest poll captions wouldn't have a single spot. i would however choose captions like "Salon Visit", "Read the Contract (1+2)", "Bad at Math", etc. These are not just my favorite captions of yours' but literally some of my all time favs. Please i beg you to tap into the same inspiration that caused you to make those gems if that's still a possibility. I'm eagerly waiting as I'm sure many of us are even if we don't comment. I hope this helps :)
