• 3/7 1:03 pm - Great intentional JUMPS with music; good story buildup and cinematic variety; end ok, but would have been better with night footage for story progression. Switching back to daytime seems like it goes "back" in time.
• 3/6 3:09 pm - The tone of your video is awesome - the cinematography is wonderfully done. For the audio, it's awesome to have the inspirational quotes throughout weaving in out of the story. However, it might have been cool to capture the coaches' or captains' talking too.

Judge 1

Positives: -Color and depth are solid. -Fading up of music as the VO intensifies is very good. Not so overt that one senses louder music, but natural enough that one senses a rising intensity. -The subtle cuts to a few frames later in the same shot to the bass in the music is done well. A fine way to conserve footage while keeping the cut quick. -Tempo and tone are appropriate and well-maintened in the edit.

Improvements: -Images don't represent the copy concerning "half-a-second too slow or too fast" and "don't quite catch it", "don't quite make it". -Intensity present in the shots should build commensurate with the intensity of the speech. -Some shots seem like place-holders, but that's the danger of a piece that requires a lot of action footage.

Judge 2

Positives: the heavy usage of slow motion worked well. voiceovers were impactful and worked well with the content. the colors were nice

Improvements: put the camera on a tripod or shoulder rig for the sideline shots. get a more variety of shots or shorten the video.
