• 3/8 5:03 pm - STRENGTHS - I like the concept a lot. Easy to understand without being too over the top. Everyone knows a driver who acts like they're driving with a blindfold on. QUESTIONS / SUGGESTIONS - The driver didn't pronounce his first few lines very clearly - maybe another take would have helped? I would have liked to have seen a shot of the drive behind the wheel blindfolded (not driving, just sitting behind the wheel).
• 3/8 12:23 pm - Nice, simple concept. Good voice over and camera shots. Hard to hear the two in the first shot.

Judge 1

Positives: I like the use of the drone at the end. Effective way of equating distracted driving to driving blindfolded.

Improvements: Lighting was a bit dark in the car. Maybe open the iris a bit or adjust the shutter rate to help with that.

Judge 3

Positives: Good sound work. Love the drone shot at the end!

Improvements: There is a little bit of a strange incongruity between showing the blindfold as a metaphor for being distracted, and then immediately after that cutting to shots of actual distractions. Maybe just having one shot in-between - of a car going down the road, would bridge the gap between the metaphor and the reality.
