  • 4/27 8:48 am - Great conversation and incorporation of B-Roll with the commentary. Hosts are knowledgeable and engaging. Use of music bed is a bit distracting and unnecessary throughout but well cut and executed throughout.
  • 4/26 1:39 pm - Great job with the topic and the conversation between the two anchors. The B-Roll came in and out nicely and worked really well to show the details being discussed. Really impressive knowledge-base as well and keeps everything interesting and on topic. Nice work all around. Going forward, I would add some titles for the anchors or key points just to keep topics clear and front of mind for the audience, since it seems like you have the ability and technology to bring in additional titles. Overall, great work!
  • 4/16 1:20 pm - Nice segment! Love the energy that both of you have - you can tell you have a passion for sports and also have the knowledge needed to carry off a talk show such as this. In terms of technical aspects of the show, it was clean. I would have added a little bit of natural audio to the highlights. Otherwise, the shot selection from your director was spot on, the shots themselves were framed well, and the transitions in and out of the replay (and also to break) were clean. Nice job!
Judge 1

Positives: Insightful commentary that made the content accessible even for viewers that don't have prior knowledge. Impressive set and very polished graphics & lower thirds.

Improvements: No notes! You guys did an excellent job

Judge 2

Positives: Both of the talent had great energy during this segment as well as good chemistry. All other aspects (set, lighting, audio, etc) were clean.

Improvements: Watch your posture - always want to sit up - as if someone has a string coming out of the top of your head.

Judge 3

Positives: You two have amazing chemistry together and it makes the viewer believe you are real friends chatting about sports! You bounce off each other's thoughts well and your passion for the subject matter really shines through. Great set, audio, lighting, music and use of b-roll. Awesome job!

Improvements: It is great that you two are comfortable on set, but always keep in the back of your mind to sit up straight! Another tip-- keep your hands on the desk, don't put them below where no one can see them. Don't be afraid to talk with your hands a bit, too.
