- 4/27 11:03 am - Remind your camera people about headroom. Drum closeups are great. I feel like the instruments are lost in the mix a bit. Be careful of flash frames. Thaks for submitting, I enjoyed watching.
- 4/27 8:01 am - Critique primarily for director: 0:13 - Stay with shots longer than 1.5 seconds, or we can’t figure out what they are. 0:15 - Not sure why this zoom/shot ended at the back of his left hand. 0:25 - Tell camera ops not to cut-off heads; don’t take shots with heads cut-off. 0:30 - Good job taking shots on beats. Locked-down camera on drums framed well. 1:10 - Still bothered by framing of this camera; cuts-off head, not tight on guitar/hands; it’s okay to frame tight on just one hand as long as it’s active. Wide camera bothered me with concert goers blocking shot, but now I like it. 2:46 - flash-frame. Overall good job with pace of switching. Clean audio.
- 4/13 8:04 pm - Thank you for your entry and sharing your creation with us. I very much enjoyed viewing your submission. Just a few observations. Nice pacing, shot takes and framing. Audio has a 'single mic' sound to it, perhaps there were limitations on audio precluding a stronger mix. When possible, a few crowd shots from the stage POV would enhance the crowd interactions. Again, enjoyed viewing your submission and thank you again for entering!
Judge 1
Positives: -Great job following the action and making sure if something worth seeing was happening, the camera captured the moment. -The variety of shots that were presented added creativity and kept the viewer engaged.
Improvements: -Try to avoid quick zooms. If you choose to zoom, try to slow it down a bit or make sure the director doesn't take the shot mid-zoom. -Some of the shots were a bit too quick (two seconds) Try to hold the shot a bit longer so it doesn't feel like the viewer missed the action.
Judge 2
Positives: Nice use of wide, low and tight camera angles and cover each band member. everything seemed white balanced well.
Improvements: Directing at the beginning followed the beat to the song but was not cohesive throughout. A little more movement with camera angles and getting different shots such as close up of fingers on the guitar, or a tilt up from guitar to player's face could help give more of a visual story.
Judge 3
Positives: - Really liked that we were able to hear the crowd at an appropriate level at the end - often crowd mics are a forgotten element or poorly mixed; this worked very well. - Good anticipation by the director of moments where it would make sense to feature the drummer, singer, etc.
Improvements: -Some of the camera movement while live was a little abrupt. Always anticipate that your subject may be moving, and be ready to adjust your framing smoothly to keep them in the frame. - If possible with camera placement, it would be fun to see the audience once or twice during this - during the song once would be appropriate, and then either right before or right after the song would be a great time to include crowd shots as well.
