Judge 1

Positives: Liked the style of graphics used to illustrate the content of the story. The copy was well written - the delivery was smooth.

Improvements: The pacing at the beginning of the piece needed to be tightened up. Just a bit too long between Seamus and Christine's lines. At times, it felt like Seamus and Christine were reading separate scripts - I would have liked to have seen a tad more interaction between them - even just a glance at one or the other to help blend. Very nice effort!

Judge 2

Positives: The Graphics were framed correctly unlike some other packages of the same format. The information on relief efforts for Hurricane Sandy were articulated well.

Improvements: If you are going to talk about a hurricane and disaster relief efforts show shots of the hurricane's destruction and people who need help. There are plenty of photos and video on the web. Show people in need not just rock stars. Audio for the two people was split male person channel left female person channel right. They should be center panned. I know I'm being picky but it matters. Show a full screen graphic where people can send help or aid.

Judge 3

Positives: Nice use of graphics over shoulder of Christine Ponds and Seamus. Cute close.

Improvements: At one point, Christine relates: "Only 34 networks" - (that's not an "only" - that's an amazing number of networks broadcasting the concert). The pacing/timing of line delivery between Seamus and Christine could have flowed better.
