• 4/22 6:31 am - Great job! The narration and music work together really well to create a serious and imposing and impressive tone. The chosen video clips work well to show the types of performances that will be in the show, and I appreciated the "behind the scenes" bits showing the cameras, which added another layer to the already impressive project of putting on a show during COVID.
• 3/10 8:49 am - Great job editing to the music. Some interesting shots made it interesting. The narration was done well. Good job!

Judge 1

Positives: The message of doing all of this during a pandemic was very compelling. It emphasized all the effort and the work under duress ad still getting the show on. In a 1:25 spot, you could experience what the students and faculty went through to and the editing was excellent.

Improvements: The darkness of several places were hard to visually deal with, if it was to show the effects of doing a show during the pandemic that would be understood. Would like to have more info on the productions. personnel involved. Cold opens and closes are good, but with theatre you'd like to know more.

Judge 2

Positives: action sequences were very engaging use of slow motion was effective

Improvements: took too long to get into the core of the material lighting and long shots didn't help to convey the energy of the production in the early shots.

Judge 3

Positives: You created a very creative and challenging project. Excellent editing and shot selection. You kept the focus on the entire production instead of highlighting a couple key performances. My overall impression is that it reflected many of the challenges that had to occur while putting this massive undertaking together. The audion was effective and help build the initial tension.

Improvements: Consider adding another shot or two during the narration of "64 cast members..." Staying on the long shot of the cast as long as you did (:28) takes away from the overall energy. If you had an extra shot you could have a little less black. The black is effective, but I feel you are on it a little too long. (0:33)
