- 4/17 8:19 am - Story - Great concept on an interesting place. Questions were organized in a creative manner adding to great storytelling Production Value - Audio levels were professional. B-Roll helped to creatively enhance the story. Talent - Creative questioning and delivery of questions.
- 4/11 7:21 am - This was really well done and a very interesting story on a unique place. I don't know if the coversation was continuous (without edits) as the category calls for but you did a great job of bringing us into this place and telling the story behind it.
- 3/5 10:13 am - This one really stood out to me... I found it very interesting! Your question asking about how her day was seemed a bit random compared to the rest of the interview. You had a great use of B-Roll video & photos to supplement the answers to the interview questions. I really liked how you included the address of the place at the end, almost as a call to action of sorts- well done!

Judge 2
Positives: Wonderful story! This was such a fun segment that shows the full effect of the small business. The music really worked for this and the b-roll was great. The interviewer was prepared with thoughtful questions and had a nice dialogue with the business owner. This felt like a genuine conversation that both parties were engaged in.
Improvements: Try not to look at your notecards while on camera. Either memorize the question (not even word for word, just the gist of it) or cover you looking at the card with b-roll. Not necessary, but adding a quick moment with a customer talking about what they love about the slot cars would have added another fun element to the show!
Judge 3
Positives: 1. Very unique topic and subject. 2. The b-roll felt natural and added the retro-vibe you the business seemed to project.
Improvements: 1. The host seemed to rush through questions. Don't be afraid to ask follow up questions instead of small remarks. 2. The conversation between host and guest didn't feel entirely natural. It is a talk show, not an interview.
