Judge 1

Positives: awesome opening! great packages, good graphics

Improvements: a few small audio problems on packages some packages include out of focus shots

Judge 2

Positives: Was that the your own rendition of the Newsroom's intro music? We're impressed. The script was well written, introducing the video packages with intelligence and creativity.

Improvements: Some of the packages could have benefited from stronger lighting on their interview subjects, thus separating them from their backgrounds. Talent could have benefitted from extra rehearsal time, which would have tightened their cues between lines.

Judge 3

Positives: The show was well produced shot and directed. All of the packages were very well shot and edited.

Improvements: The talent was well spoken and articulate, but were fairly monotone with thier reading of each story. This gave the piece overall a much slower pace and dryer feel then necessary.
