Judge 1

Positives: Liked the start with the animation. Music was good. Like the use of b-roll while Seamus is explaining his work.

Improvements: Carry music under the interviewee just a bit so it's not so abrupt. Key light heavy on subject. Could have used a little more music to keep it interesting. Sound pops on occasion.

Judge 2

Positives: Good pacing, use of animation, interesting story.

Improvements: I would have liked a little music throughout the interview, maybe we could have heard a little bit from Lino.

Judge 3

Positives: Good explanation of animation steps (Japanese fighters). Smooth, crisp cuts.

Improvements: Less use of animation and more human shots. Interview is a bit long.
