• 4/23 7:04 am - Add something to the end, such as “good luck” or “we wish the team well” - helps to wrap up the story. Overall, a good story. Good interviews. The shot for one of them was a bit too wide. Good b-roll. A couple of the b-roll shots did not have natural audio - be sure to always record the natural audio and use it in the story.

Positives: -This was a really solid piece!! Way to go! -The shot variation was awesome. Way to get super creative and use different tools to do that. It made the story engaging and it had a great pace and flow. -The writing was also on point. -Good mix of interviews, including interview locations and framing. -Awesome ending shot, it pulled the whole piece together.

Improvements: -There were some missed opportunities for sequences here. Skating has a lot of repeated action that makes for really great sequences. -I would've used some even more nat pops! When we see the girls clapping, it'd be even better to hear it too.
