  • 4/29 8:49 am - Keepers: The interview comments from the various athletes were genuine and helped convey the various losses we've all experienced throughout the pandemic. Improvements: This felt like a podcast. Broll wasn't present at all until the last minutes of the piece and the flashback/dream sequences felt out of place from what had been built in the first couple of minutes. The broll in the flashbacks needed to be used in a non humorous manner during the interview portions. Overall, this piece just felt a bit disorganized from a story standpoint. I didn't know if it was comedy, or a serious story. Sorry.
  • 4/15 1:43 pm - This really is not a documentary especially in how it begins with a host introducing the interviews that follow. The video of the students dreaming about playing sports is creative but not really effective in a documentary story.
