- 4/23 12:14 am - *Strengths: 1. Video quality 2. Composition - varied angles/camera placements 3. Balance between primary and secondary audio tracks 4. Appropriate music *Areas for Improvement: 1. The steps in your process identify what needs to be done and the order in which they need to be completed. You can strengthen your demonstration by providing more information regarding the techniques needed to complete various steps in the procedure. (You did say more about "technique" when the crepe was in the pan) 2. Background shifted occasional when listing materials. 3. Your narration also can include relevant and interesting background information related to your topic. The process alone likely will not be enough to keep the audience engaged. 4. Continue to look for creative ways to begin and end your pieces. 5. Look for opportunities to make your audio track richer by incorporation some nat sound.
- 3/3 9:48 pm - How To Make Crepes - ID# 448 Maine South Nice, clear steps. Visuals are clear and appealing. Music fits nicely. Narrator is clear, but could use a bit more enthusiasm or a bit friendlier tone. A few awkward shots.
Judge 1
Positives: Good music choice. Nice video effects with ingredients. Easily understood process and even I could do it!
Improvements: Narrator needs to speak more clearly and slowly.

Positives: You took the time and care to make sure that all of the surfaces were clean and attractive, good art direction. You also took the care make sure the background looks appropriate for your shoot. E.g. at 1 minute you show a cutting board, stove, fruit basket and cutting knives on the back counter. The lighting is upbeat and supports the feel of your project.
Improvements: Make sure you keep the camera absolutely steady while showing the ingredients. When shooting something like this, you can start with all of the ingredients on screen in a nice configuration. Then run the camera without stopping for the entire take. Remove the ingredients (one at a time) in reverse order so the last one on camera during the shoot is the first one that will be on screen. Then edit the footage and eliminate unwanted hands, etc. and put the shots in the correct order. Since you haven't touched the camera there won't be any unwanted bumps. Also, make sure that you don't move any of the ingredients that are still supposed to be on camera until it's time to remove them from your set.

Positives: Really well done video!! Love the choice of French music to back it all up...you couldn't NOT go with that! It was really well shot and edited, too. Like the cutting of all the materials and ingredients showing up at the very beginning. Sometimes filming inside, especially in a kitchen, can be a nightmare for lighting, but for the most part the video looks really well done! You went through the process extremely well and your editing of the clips supported it all greatly.
Improvements: Relatively minor comments here...there are a few shots in the kitchen that are shadow-y (mainly the ones where we see you). It's very minor and almost unnoticeable, maybe just throw a second light there in the kitchen to counter act some of these "shaded" areas of the screen.
