Judge 1

Positives: interesting shots of china. clear that this is a documentary

Improvements: did really have a direction to it for what the main goal was for the documentary. ends very abruptly. music selected didn't really fit the video

Judge 2

Positives: Great opening visual sequence of that transcends an exiting experience. Beautiful shots and nice interview bites.

Improvements: I wish the interviews and the b roll shots were combined better to avoid jump cuts and to convey the story more coherently. The audio mix is very rough:the loudness of music is overbearing...

Judge 3

Positives: The cinematography was great in most of the clips. Looks like you used a very good high-end camera and it made all the difference. The intimate shots, especially the one at 0:25 and 0:47 made me want to watch the full documentary. I got a good glimpse of the documentary during 1:07 to 1:20. Great idea.

Improvements: The music stopped and then picked-up in a rather strange way. However, it made a good connection between the music of the travelers and the culture they were about to discover. Not sure what's going on at 0:14 so I would edit that out.
