  • 4/18 10:40 am - What happens next??? I enjoyed the opening title sequence. Your dialogue was very clear throughout although some background music would have helped fill in the silence. Cutting between two camera angles work well for the demonstration, but be careful with the lighting as the tripod from camera 2 is very noticeable on the fridge.
  • 3/12 10:43 am - Fun intro graphic! Glad you included washing your hands! Glad you put the ingredients up—could be up longer. The pace here is a bit slow; some music would help, or some personal stories about the recipe, etc. Wish we could have seen more. Maybe having a partner in the video that you could talk to or that could ask questions about the process would help spice it up. You are brave to try to make this without beaters or a mixer!

  • 3/8 12:16 pm - what works: nice opening show title, like it is an ongoing cooking show, good choice; love the first step as it is always forgotten; excellent vocal sound and fun delivery; good topic; what could make it better: show cuts off abruptly, does not end; more variety to shots of steps, for example while washing hands once you mention cake, cut to finished cake close up; that would also help with pacing; keep action in frame; ingredients list goes by too fast-better to show each item on counter; clean up kitchen background so everything in frame is intentional.
  • 3/7 8:54 pm - It's a shame that the video is incomplete as it has a lot of strengths. The sound quality of your presentation is excellent. Your dialogue is as clear as a bell. The production value is good in terms of the different shots you're using and your titles are clear and explicit. The lighting of the room and of the work surface is clear and even. Shots are well exposed. The titles are often not on screen long enough to read them clearly. Overall this one shows some real promise, but you need to be aware of the time constraints of this category.
