Entry Description

Swimming at the competitive level requires a huge commitment and lots of stamina. Zack Jones takes us poolside to see the swimmers in action.

Judge 1

Positives: Loved the shot of the swimmer coming straight toward the camera. Good execution of that shot. Nice sequence of the guy preparing for the race also.

Improvements: Interviews with people up against a wall isn't a pleasing visual. I also wish there were a couple natural-sound-full pops... kind of like you had at the beginning of the piece.

Judge 2

Positives: Nice compilation of broll. Good variety of shots and selecting those shots to enhance the story.

Improvements: Don't interview people up against a wall, or worse, in a corner. Interview people with space behind them. Use some lighting to brighten up the interviewee.

Judge 3

Positives: Good use of natural light. Nice piece all around.

Improvements: Watch your focus. Some of the shots were a little bit long.
