- 4/22 12:49 pm - Really well told story of what Bremen football means to the players and coaches. Great video to accompany well shot and compelling interviews. Nicely done all around!
Judge 1
Positives: Nice job finding GREAT music. The music is what drives the emotion of this story. The back ground used is a nice way to keep the interview looks consistent - would have loved to have seen the head coach with this back ground as well.
Improvements: Try to find more ways to use more natural sound moments. Let the music you found help drive the edit in certain sports.

Positives: Amazing open shot and outside shots of team- looks like dolly - smooth. Love the use of sunset!! Good back and forth editing of players and team. Thank you for the backdrop behind the players. Sets up some compelling visual contrast.
Improvements: At times, the interviews sound a bit clipped or fade on a word. I waited for a climax to the story but, it did not happen. Is the climax graduation?
Judge 3
Positives: It's rare to see young athletes in such a reflective mode.This is refreshing approach to an old story with thoughtful bites from the players and their coach instead of action highlights. Good open with a drone shot of the empty field sets the tone of the piece. The interview background gives the piece a look. Choosing group shots on the field rather than individual action shots illustrate the players embrace of the team as a family. Good broll throughout. This is a lovely piece taking a soft look at a hard sport, focusing on the heart instead of the razzle dazzle.
Improvements: I like the dips to black but a couple are too long making sections of the documentary feel like ending points. Pacing could be a little faster in spots.
