Klaymen starts his, what I hope to be a lengthy and successful,
series with Episode 01 (how did you guess?). 3DMM Evil is
basically a chat show with a couple of skits and adverts bunged
in to create a fairly unique show. Time has obviously been spent
trying to get the television-show-feel and I am pleased to say
that it worked rather well.
Guest stars who feature in the first episode are Thomas Saville
and Sammy Sagitarius, and they come with clear voices (phew!).
They enter with a little backing tune, like most chat shows, and
they come to sit on a chair and talk to the host. The interviews
themselves were very interesting to listen to, with Thomas
Saville talking mainly on the Knights of Camelot and with Sammy
talking about the Community Clash series and the community
itself. Despite not seeing the Community Clash movies (yet), I
still found Sammy's interview surprisingly entertaining. The
questions have obviously been given a lot of thought and credit
goes to Klaymen (and the guests) for this.
The adverts are generally fun to watch, with Apfigur and Jeff
Ching featuring. A couple of skits also appear here, and
although some were amusing, they weren't as funny as half of the
skits in the hilarious Skitzophrenia. Perhaps this is something
to work on? I'm not sure what 3DMM Evil tries to focus on the
most, but personally I think the interviews were the bits that
were concentrated on the most and they were also my favourite
part of the show.
The scenery in general was, well, too basic. The most important
objects, the chairs and the table in the chat room, have been
done fine, but there seems to be nothing else. If this was
real-life, you would wonder how much money the producers
actually spent in making this variety show, and the number would
probably be in double, maybe triple figures. In the sound
department, things were generally fine. Voices were done
extremely well mostly and my only hitch is that sometimes the
music was a tiny bit too loud. But overall, this was very
enjoyable to watch. It does not matter how simple the sceneries
are, nor does it matter how the skits compare to some from
Skitzophrenia. This is still something worth the watch and with
some improvements here and there, this could well be the start
of something really special.
Score: 72/100
