• 4/23 7:04 am - Overall, a good story was told. Sometimes, I felt like the natural audio clips that were brought full, were a bit much. Make sure each time you do it, it’s for a purpose and not just because you feel you have to. Doing it too much can have a negative effect on your story. Nice job with the large variety of b-roll.

Positives: -GREAT use of nats! -It was awesome that the subject was interviewed while in action cooking. Those make for the best soundbites when we can see the main person doing what they naturally do. It's a great storytelling element. -Great shot variation. -The pace was great. Interview variation, nats, and information really moved it along. -Overall, well done.

Improvements: -Audio editing could have been a little smoother throughout. The use of nats were great, but make sure to fade them in and out so they're not so jarring. There was a jarring audio jump at 1:09. -We also want to hear sounds as we see them (this was done most of the package, so make sure to continue throughout!) -I'm sure the space was tight, but use a tripod when you can! Some shots were shaky. -The story is upbeat, so I'd love to hear more energy in the track too!

Positives: Like the start of the piece with broll covering the bite... Good story...nice the way the personal story is woven through the piece Good broll throughout...good nat sot pops. Nice piece.

Improvements: Not sure about the shot :37...is that a still photo? There is so much good broll, there is no need for a still shot. The first bite with the daughter is a little unclear.
