  • 4/20 10:43 am - the stationary camera (wide shot is jiggling the whole time); one shot 85% of the time, two replays which were good follows of the action. Wide shot should zoom slowly in on the action once a run or catch has happened. The scoreboard doesn’t have down and distance. The commentary and play by play get mixed up in their roles, with PbP commentating some and commentary calling the play by play at times. Define the roles better. Both are knowledgeable and called a good three minutes of play. Good sound quality.
Judge 1

Positives: Strong energy on the big pass play. Your cut to the crowd was great. Nice shot and decision. I'd like to hear more crowd, too.

Improvements: One of the announcers is whispering, which is distracting because of how strongly the other announcer's voice is coming through. When you're not sure if there's a catch, watch the officials. See what they do. Also, I wish the score bug changed faster after the touchdown.

Judge 2

Positives: -Liked the enthusiasm from the announcers! - Great replays, the tight camera did a good job of following the ball.

Improvements: - For the announcers, when the down/distance is not shown on your scorebug, help the viewers out by saying it before every single play. In that aspect you should really be like a radio broadcast. Assume that your viewer has just turned in and doesn't know if it's 1st & 10 or 3rd & 27. - Game camera could consider zooming in slightly once a catch has been made along the far sideline to help the viewer see what's going on. Just slightly - but consider that your viewers are likely watching on a small screen.

Judge 3

Positives: Great energy from the announcers. Good tight shots. From where your cameras are at, are you able to get any tighter? Nice crowd reaction shot. Good use of replay for the TD.

Improvements: Could use more natural audio of the sounds in the stadium - we got a lot of the cow bell. Make sure the camera movements are steady - add some tension to the camera to help the movements be more steady. Watch so you don't have too much headroom on your camera shots.
