- 4/27 8:44 pm - The opening zoom gave a good perspective on the size of the group, the movement felt like it was motivated by the movement on stage. Some more close-ups of the performers would be nice. That last zoom could probably have been taken when it was completed. Good audio.
- 4/27 8:17 am - Critique primarily for director: Great audio. 0:00 - Great zoom for a reason. 0:25 - Crossed the 180-degree line. Need some tight shots on faces for intensity, focus, etc. End zoom wasn’t needed; take shot when it’s zoomed-out all the way.
- 4/13 8:52 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. Some quick tight shots on individuals would add to the production. Good audio. A large group can be more challenging so good work with that. Again, enjoyed viewing your submission and thank you again for entering!
Judge 1
Positives: -The zoom out to reveal everyone with the band was a great way to show creativity. -The sound was clear and fluid.
Improvements: -Each angle should have a purpose. If the band is doing something creative, seeing that from a wide shot high angle would be beneficial to the viewer opposed to a low side angle. -Adding in a variety of shots like a tight shot of someone playing an instrument would be a nice addition

Positives: Good use to different camera angles. Being there's a lot of performers, it's nice to not lose the faces of those on the sides of the stage and I think you did a good job and that.
Improvements: Instead of the static locked down shots, having a little bit of camera movement (i.e. slow pan/zoom of performers) would aid in the visual storytelling. The left high angle shot didn't seem to be horizontally balanced and a few the shots color balance could have been adjusted a little to compensate the bright lights on the performers.
Judge 3
Positives: - Sound was well mixed, which is no small feat with that many instruments on stage at once!
Improvements: - Would have liked some closeup camera shots of just one or two individuals - the moments where the young man came to the front and hit the triangle would have been a great moment for something like that! - Pace was a little slow on the directing - a fun, upbeat song like this calls for quicker cuts between your shots.
