Judge 1

Positives: Cool concept. Some of the effects were nicely done--the waving fingers worked well. Good use of props and costumes. Patient footage is interesting. When he is screaming the music is screaming, however, a little later, he is screaming and the music isn't.

Improvements: The boss (man talking) footage gets boring. Same angle and on screen for too long at a time. Too much talking. Some camera movement fits the story but other shots with movement appear shaky as opposed to intention. (i.e. opening exterior shot). It appears to be the same actor playing three roles. I commend the performance but if you actually tie that into the story (a multiple personality) it would be more effective.

Positives: Footage of experiment conductor in room was synced nicely with audio throughout. All talent did a great job acting. Nice visuals throughout - especially liked the hand hallucinating effect. Overall, good concept.

Improvements: Footage with masked talent seemed too dark - iris needed to be brought up. Some of this footage also needed to be white balanced. Narrator - a bit too quiet in the middle when inducing stage 3 - bring up audio level. Between the end of stage 2 and beginning of stage 3, I'd like to see more dramatic hallucinating - could've been really creative with footage here. Key needed at beginning and end of video to credit artist.

Judge 3

Positives: Creative camera angles. Video effects were a nice touch. It was cool how all three characters were portrayed by the same person, yet they were distinct

Improvements: The 2-way mirror idea was creative, but not successful since the camera angle was the same for both "rooms". The shot of the man in charge should have been flopped. Also, the pacing seemed a bit slow - it would be nice to see it change with the three different parts of the song.
