Judge 1

Positives: Good mix - Great choice of music and well done with the nat sound. WELL DONE! great story, Shot well You should be very proud of this. I am a broadcast editor and feel that a long version of this is broadcast worthy. If time permitted, I would have loved to see some vintage photos of him and some images from England...

Improvements: a couple rushed edits - not a major problem but it would help.

Judge 2

Positives: Excellent story and subject to feature!! Fascinating - had no idea something like this was in Illinois. GREAT set-up. Loved the top 3 shots of the woodworking. EXCELLENT camera work - great broll - great shots. Really captured it - felt like I was right there with Mike Jarvi.

Improvements: Would have liked Mike to have explained HOW he makes the pieces... or WHAT he was doing... for example, this is "xx" machine...this is how you use it...
