  • 3/6 7:25 am - I like the camera is always moving, and it is very smooth. Fun variety of shots! Wow, fun editing at about 1:50! Good job keeping the subtitles in line with the song.
  • 3/2 11:52 am - Nice job conveying the mood of the event. Great storytelling. Liked this a lot.
  • 3/2 11:51 am - There are a lot of jump cuts during the rapid-fire camera changes. For example, there are three straight shots of the drummer and/or drums.
  • 3/2 11:50 am - at 1:55, I like the idea of trying the rapid-fire camera changes, but it's really distracting. Maybe it's just because I'm old. It might work for a younger audience. Not saying it's bad. I like the experimentation with it.
  • 3/2 11:48 am - Love the backstage camera angles. Nice selection of camera locations.
  • 3/2 11:47 am - On-air camera movements (pans/tilts) are really smooth.
  • 3/2 11:47 am - Watch your head room on some shots.
Judge 1

Positives: Good idea with captioning. Nice audio mix. Some really well done camera composition. Nice work with live and non-edited piece.

Improvements: Lighting with fog effect detracted from your camera shots. More close-ups on singing performers.

Judge 2

Positives: Their are a lot of great things going on in this video! You used a variety of cameras, you dropped down on the subject, you kept the cuts with the tempo of the music, you had a lot of pushes and pulls and the cuts during the music solo was outstanding.

Improvements: You had a couple of bad picks when it came to choosing which camera to go to. Once you picked the camera on the drummer and as soon as you picked it the drummer stopped playing. I think you used the instrument cameras a little to much. Concentrating more on the vocals would help keep the viewers singing.

Positives: Amazing zooms and pans during shots - not too fast and very smooth. Loved the pan down onto the male signer early on. With the exception of the drummer, great shot composition. Just enough space around people in the mid-shots and good close-ups. Good sound mix.

Improvements: Drummers head was cut off in shots and that was a distraction. Pacing at the beginning was too slow. Lyric graphics added little.
