- 4/22 11:19 pm - Pros - Excellent coloring and image quality throughout. Definitely brings the sense of a high production value when your images are consistently sharp and dynamically composed. Variety was strong and good in demonstrating a well rounded skillset. Cons - Not much to say here. A couple of auto focus moments that were distracting and an unfortunate dirty lens that caught a bad flare.
- 4/14 11:59 am - +Great shot variety! +Lots of emotion in your shots, excellent! You use the camera to tell a story which is the most important thing! +Nice color correction -For butterfly shot, we can see the camera go in and out of autofocus

Positives: Great shot composition throughout and color generally looks vibrant and appropriate to the tone. Good variety in shots from shot size, movement, subjects, etc. You really show a good range of your ability in camerawork.
Improvements: I'd like to see more examples of production based lighting manipulation. There are certainly some examples in here but I'd like to see more. The few examples I saw are a little week and it becomes apparent that that may be a weak spot for you. They can appear a bit more flat or the lighting sometimes looks a little theatrical instead of natural It would be a good idea to include a more diverse range of subjects (black, white, latino, old, young, etc.) Not that you don't have some, but this will indicate that you have the ability to capture and light a wider range of people.

Positives: The shot of the chessboard in the cabin was absolutely beautiful. I also really enjoyed the shot of the girl walking the natural balance beam, nice capture. Well done with cross lense cut at the pep rally/football game
Improvements: Copyright is a real thing, hope you have the rights to the music. There’s a fine line when using boring stock royalty free music, and using a song that everybody knows. You don’t want your music to be so boring that people get tired of watching your video, and you don’t want it to be something that so well known that they’re just focus on the fact that you’re using that song. Take your time and find something that complements it Keep crushing it, you are super talented
