• 4/20 12:15 pm - Your piece is filled with energy and contains a wide variety of shots taken from different perspectives. In general, video quality is quite good (focus is an issue in some instances). At times, you cut to the beat of the music effectively. Continue to work this technique. Given your piece is intended to promote your school, what other events/activities could you have included? What happens in your school's classrooms? What about your school's fine arts programs? How might you have provided a more comprehensive overview of your high school? Finally, don't be afraid to let some of the sounds of your school seep into your piece. Nat. sound can be quite powerful.
• 3/4 11:23 am - Solid edit. Transitions and footage created great energy. Shot choice was great. Nice variety of footage. Music fit well.
• 3/2 2:18 pm - Good video selection for showcasing your school. I liked the matching of sound effects and transitions with the music was good. Some of the shots were very fast to match this and could have been showcased a bit longer.

Judge 1

Positives: Great show of school spirit with students in the stands and ENERGY from the crowd - makes me want to participate! Diverse sports shown and wide range of students in participation

Improvements: What is the story? A lot of action but lacked focus around a theme - mascot? school colors?, etcc.. Would like to have heard sound of student body - cheering, articulating value of participation?

Judge 2

Positives: The bass drum with the music was a great shot. I like the crowd shots and how close you get to them, but I think there could be more close up shots. You do a good job of matching to the music during the video and I like the graphic at the end

Improvements: Try to use more close-up shots when making this type of video, show the emotion of the players. A couple of random shots in the video make it confusing. Why is there someone on a hoverboard, is this normal? There are some shots in the studio, why? At the start, it seems like a hype video for the sports teams, but then it shows other parts of the school.

Positives: Love the beginning shot and end shot. great way to use your crowd shots- and I liked that you included This Is Huntley graphics as a message at the end! Edited very nicely to the song! Good rhythm and flow. Very inclusive about the many activities students can do at school!

Improvements: I liked the effect that you used at :08-- would have liked you to pull that feel in throughout the piece
