• 3/5 2:41 pm - Positives Nice ease in to open the performance; evenly paced zooms in and out work well and aren't overused; great angle at 1:55 that transitions nicely into the next solo; Areas for improvement: Second soloist should have the same tight shot coverage as the first; the lighting change at 1:17 should be the cue that the soloist is done & cut to the wide shot; too much footroom on closing shot.
• 2/28 6:29 am - Good variety of shots Some nice moving shots and zooms Perhaps work on finding more ways to isolate small groups of performers. Wide shots are effective for choreography, though. Some of the angles of your cameras do not really lend themselves to tighter shots—that is hard to overcome.

Positives: Good job! I think you did a great job putting this together. You really showcased the talent and made me feel like i was in the audience

Improvements: A few times I wish I would've seen some tighter shots of the main talent. Not sure if it was possible, but if you had a camera right in front of them, head on I think it would've really added to the piece

Judge 2

Positives: Good, clean audio. Well done lighting.

Improvements: Camera shots too far, all the same type of shot.

Judge 3

Positives: Great wide shot, at the beginning of the production. It gives the viewers an idea of the size of the set. Nice zoom into the close-up shot of lead singer at (:12). Wonderful zoom out to wide shot at :29 when entire cast entered. At (:54), to offer some variety, it would have been a good opportunity to get some close-ups of various performers since you had so many from which to choose. Good shot at 1:24 leading into a pan of cast. Love the camera work at 1:40. Good capture of the group segmentation followed by an alternate angle. Suggestion: They went to solos at 2:17. Before a production, find out if people will be soloing and ask the producer/director to draw you a little map of where they will be standing and their lineup number, so that you can switch from camera-to-camera seamlessly. For example, maybe the first soloist is stage right, second row and the 2nd soloist is stage left front row. Preparation is key! Great end fade.
