Feature story about a visually disabled student in the school's marching band

Judge 1

Positives: Great story nice job with interviews

Improvements: some b-roll framed badly background audio could be a bit louder during band shots

Judge 2

Positives: This piece has a very unique story subject, one that makes people reassess what is possible, and gives hope to those who might feel defeated. There are some very interesting shots of Nicki on the field. You were able to capture some brilliant colors in the sky and keep the overall piece well balanced.

Improvements: Please ensure the entire piece makes it into the export. It looks as though the beginning and end were clipped by a few seconds. A few of the words being said by Ty got a bit muddled. These things happen, but it's important to go back and re-record the voice over slowly and clearly, so that the viewers can understand the message thoroughly.

Judge 3

Positives: Shots were well composed. Good editing technique that utilized all interview subjects to tell a full story.

Improvements: Pace lagged a bit.
