Judge 1

Positives: Good shot composition. Exciting times captured in the video.

Improvements: Edit shots tighter as some are on too long. The repetition of the song is unnecessary. By trimming the video, you won't need to repeat the audio.

Judge 2

Positives: I liked your story, and I thought you did a great job using your characters and camera shots to build the plot.

Improvements: I think you could have edited your video to make the story move along with some additional variety of camera shots. Although, your camera work outside was well done.

Judge 3

Positives: Go Blackhawks! Some of the angles you shot were actually pretty cool. Felt kind of like a news cast!

Improvements: This isn't so much as a "music video" as more of a "video with music." It's cool to see all the fans excited to see the Stanley Cup, and its nice that you were able to film them and get so close, but I don't see any real creativity here. Sure some shots were pretty cool, but there really isn't any substance or story here. If you chose the Blackhawks fight song then made like a little video about the Blackhawks organization or history it would work better.
