Entry Description

Judge 1

Positives: You benefitted form a compelling subject, with an engaging story. By introducing him fairly early you helped draw viewers into the story. The camera work and editing were the best I saw in this category and earned the highest remarks I gave to anyone. The camera angles in particular were impressive, signs of a creative eye.

Improvements: Luke is known because of his Vines, we need to see more of them and have them better presented in the script. How does he make them, when, why, what's his favorite, what got the most interaction on line, do people write him, etc? How large is his audience, how many people follow him, etc. We need to hear him play his vibes more. The narration needs to be clearer and crisper.

Judge 2

Positives: Nat sound was excellent, short and sweet PKG, compactly told the story, music under the voice tracks was a good touch, liked the cutaways, close-ups of the vibe, thought it was a very effective use of the vine video and integrating that into the story-telling

Improvements: Explanatory voice tracks can be tricky, as it's a fine line between explaining what a vine is to someone who doesn't know without sounding condescending to those who do know.
