Bilbo's Wasteland: How To Pick Up Girls

Not a Christmas special!

This is the first of a new series we're doing called 'Bilbo's Wasteland'. In which self proclaimed business guru Bill 'Bilbo' Pope and his apprentice Christian Malone get up to all sorts of things in his office. Which also happens to be a public toilet.

Maybe in a later episode George Michael will make a cameo

In this episode Bilbo teaches Malone how to pickup girls by making him dress up as one!

Any feedback? I'd like to know what people like/don't like so I can improve in future.

The dating one is good fun but the mask is off putting for me

Intersesting, I didn't think about that.

Originally we wasn't going to show the whole mask, just the bottom half so it'd be more like the first one where you don't see him. But when I saw it I thought it'd be better to show the whole thing as you can see more emotions.

The mask hides all of his emotions sothat's just kind of off putting.

It's too imobile, maybe just me.

Attaching the mask was a problem. We used spirit gum but it wouldn't stick for long which is why it doesn't move much.

We'll try experimenting other methods to get move movement.

Sorry I'm the last one to criticizer fx as I know nothing about them

but in a great episode it stood out

How about just filming him from behind and never showing his face?

I'm not sure if that's really an option now we've shown his face and we've shot quite a few sketches which will be released over the coming weeks which are shot the same way.

It's definitely something we need to work on though as now I'm editing the other ones I can really see how bad it is.

I might even try cutting the mask around the mouth.
