Judge 1

Positives: The transitions from location to location were very creative and well executed. Creative, modern take on a well-known science experiment.

Improvements: Overall, the sound design was well done, but I would have liked to heard more foley in the room. Unless the lack of sound was intentional. It would have been interesting to play more with the color grading in the locations.
