• 4/27 8:57 pm - Nice establishing shots. I like the demonstration led through the chef’s narration- an interesting collection of b-roll. Really engaging piece!
• 3/7 10:38 am - Although it was unclear at the beginning what we are making, the production values are excellent throughout. Nice closeups, cutaways, moving shots, and pace and energy to edit. The vocals fight his voice-consider instrumental only. While I would have preferred a student demonstrator to a professional, overall this is nicely done.
• 3/6 9:44 pm - Great camera work and visual quality, overall. Your shots all had good variety and were well composed and focused. I understand the realities and constraints associated with a live demonstration show, but at times, I think you needed to extend the broll of the chef making the foot and space out the steps a bit more. As a viewer it was overwhelming to watch at times. Also, choose a font and color with more pop. Too many times it didn't stand out in the video and it was hard to read.

Judge 1

Positives: Your credit a lot of credit for taping a live demo. Very difficult.

Improvements: Hard to read the dish he is going to prepare. Some camera angles did quite cover the action enough to really understand what was going on.

Judge 2

Positives: The atmosphere was great, it was nice to see a variation of ages. The music was well done. It was an upbeat atmosphere.

Improvements: I felt like it should have been dinner at Froggies. From the demo I could never recreate the recipe. The questions after the demo were not miked so I couldn't really hear what they were asking nor did I understand the answer.

Positives: Great intro. It created a very upbeat tone that carried throughout the entire piece. The audience involvement with the cooking demo is very strong. You used some great reaction shots. That helps your audience to be more involved with the video. I'm not sure if your used available light or set your own light. Regardless the lighting and color scheme were very effective. There were some nicely composed shots that help to capture the feel of the event.

Improvements: The one thing that could have been a little better was the text. At times it was hard to read. There were some lines of type that were too close to the edge of the frame. Since you were using the text to state the recipe it's important that it is easy to read. Use a slightly bolder font and a little stronger drop shadow.
