• 4/25 9:54 am - Strong opener – great visuals, strong music selection. Looks like you shot all your broll during the golden hour – awesome job and great color! Ray was an awesome interview and his relaxing tone along with your shot selection and music choice just create an awesome mood for this story! Well written voice-overs.
• 3/12 8:43 pm - This is really a relaxing piece so I commend you for setting a mood. That being said, not really a news package in the storytelling part. It feels like more of a promotional piece. The b-roll was very good and I think it supported the interview. I did like the music choice as well. I would think you might want to include people who maybe use the park to give their thoughts on the park and why they come.
• 3/2 10:19 am - Nicely framed interview; b-roll is appropriate; could interview more subjects and go deeper into the anxiety issue. Seemed more like a commercial for the park district.
