Judge 1

Positives: So impressed with this piece! Excellent variety of shots (did you have 3 or 4 cameras? I couldn't tell!) Nice use of a super at the top to let us know what we were watching - you carried the song through to the end, so the story was complete. Loved the direction! You kept me guessing as to when you would change shots! It was visually interesting. Very nice work!

Improvements: Watch your audio levels - had a bit of a jump in the beginning, but then you were more consistent. Trying to think of a second thing that could be improved, but I can't come up with anything else! Job well done! :)

Judge 2

Positives: That live on the shoulder stuff looks good. Wide but close looks good. Shows detail. HD always looks good even with lower end gear.

Improvements: Editing or cutting could be improved. Washed out, better iris control.

Judge 3

Positives: Nice graphic with sound under to open the piece. Nice placement of "Fly Like A Fool" graphic lower 1/3. Nice reverse shot at :31 from behind the drums. Audio mix - pretty good.

Improvements: The shot at :54 and the shot after that were not properly exposed - too dark - the iris needed to be opened up on those cameras at that point in the video. ...the same problem at :46 seconds not all of the cameras were set up to match - different color temperatures -
