• 3/6 7:27 am - I like that you are respecting the choreography by using mostly full shots, but at the same time, you have the camera moving a bit, so that it is till dynamic! Good job being ready to catch the action at 1:15, when the dancer goes to the floor!
• 3/3 11:42 am - You have submitted three clips from the same production. May want to consider clips from other live-event productions instead.

Judge 1

Positives: Well lit for performance and camera. Liked the effects on stage and many good camera composition shots.

Improvements: Some camera shots similar in composition but from opposite side of performance were a bit disconcerting. Good attempt to cut with music but sometimes it seemed overdone.

Judge 2

Positives: The pace of the transitions was good, it kept me interested and engaged. Your opening and ending fades were a nice touch to a great performance. The slider shot at the front was done nicely.

Improvements: Adding a little more movement to the cameras, such as pushes and pulls would have been nice. Picking more creative shots could have added to your video. Maybe taking a tight shot of their feet while they are dancing or a tighter shot of any of them. You stayed wide pretty much the whole time and it is okay to get in tight on just one from time to time.

Judge 3

Positives: Loved the first shot with the silhouettes and great second shot after that. Great mid-shots that caught lots of action.

Improvements: More cuts needed to match the fast pacing of the music. Needed some close-ups of the dancers' faces. Overall, played it too safe.
