• 4/22 3:19 pm - Great idea to do a veteran story, and starting it with powerful historical context. The audio is distracting as well as not in sync with your profile angle. Great job lighting it properly and adding a lot of specific broll shots throughout. The music gets overpowering as the story goes on. The end left us wanting to know or hear more to complete the story.
• 4/20 3:02 pm - +Great photos! +Interview setup looks very nice +technically well done, except for audio -audio effect sounds like he is talking through a phone. Take the filter off.
• 3/5 2:02 pm - Positives: Great opening titles & audio; music bed works well with the story, although its clarity is in contrast with the interview audio; Areas for improvement: interview audio seems over-filtered; the story needs a stronger closing;
