  • 4/23 6:45 am - Story - Great script. From introduction to transitions the writing was creative Production Value Professional and engaging. The attention to detail in every aspect did not go unnoticed. The lighting was creative and really set the mood Talent - Good chemistry and organic conversation with all talent.
  • 4/5 9:02 am - Terrific detail with the set and it is lit quite well. Conversation is natural but who hates on the Beatles? Do these people exist? Well directed and live switched. Well done!
  • 3/5 11:28 am - Love the intro! I loved the clear outline at the top of the segment... great studio setup!
Judge 1

Positives: -Nice lighting -Set had personality and felt on brand for the show -Engaging and well spoken hosts

Improvements: -Could use more visuals -It'd be helpful to have info or context about the album they're discussing

Judge 2

Positives: I like the format of this show and as a viewer I can tell you all care about what you are discussing. When it comes across to the viewer that you are passionate about what you're saying, they are more inclined to trust you. All three hosts seem comfortable on camera and have a good dialogue together.

Improvements: I understand you are going for moody lighting, but it is just a bit too dark, especially with the black background and floor. Even though this is an opinion based show, consider adding a little bit of history about the band at the beginning for viewers for added context that rounds out your opinions.

Judge 3

Positives: 1. Great camera angles and use of reaction shots. 2. Many submissions in this category use interviews, but this is a talk show between hosts only. Unique and hard to pull off.

Improvements: 1. The conversation was mostly based in personal experience. This made it seem less structured as a talk show. 2. I wished the hosts would've talked more about Beatles history or facts.
