  • 4/27 8:49 pm - The sound is distorted in a couple of places, and missing a little room sound to make it feel live. Some more close-ups of the lead singer would be nice. Framing could use some adjustment, lots of headroom in some shots with cut-off feet.
  • 4/27 8:21 am - Critique primarily for director: 0:05 - Let zooms/pans/tilts complete before taking next shot. 0:13 - Crossed the 180-degree line multiple times. Great audio. Hoping for tight, head-to-shoulders shot of singer. 1:19 - Left third of frame is empty. Ultra-wide shot is impressive. 1:47 - Anticipate movement; lots of empty headroom while a few feet are cut-off.
  • 4/13 9:00 pm - Thank you for your entry and sharing your creation with us. I very much enjoyed viewing your submission. Just a few observations. Appreciated the opening card! Nice pacing overall and shot selection. At times framing was a bit off, and some tighter shots of the lead mixed in would help highlight the action. Good audio. Again, enjoyed viewing your submission and thank you again for entering!
Judge 1

Positives: -nice closing shot with the wide angle and zooming out slowly -great job switching to wide shots when it matters (the choreography looks great from far away)

Improvements: -when the lights came on and you could see everyone, it's good to get a wide shot introducing everyone to the viewer -following the action and getting more close ups of the singer would have improved the viewing experiencing

Judge 2

Positives: Nice placement locations for the cameras. Color balance on all the cameras match.

Improvements: The camera work was static with very little movement and didn't follow the lead singer a whole lot. Getting some more tight shots or single shot of performers would help visually aid the performance.

Judge 3

Positives: - Did a good job of covering the entire very large stage. - Sound is well mixed.

Improvements: - Would like some closer shots - especially on the lead singer to really make her the focus. The majority of the shots were very wide throughout this piece. - A piece like this with dynamic movement and dancing calls for camera work that reflects that - instead of just static shots, have the cameras pan/tilt and follow dancers. Cut between shots with a quicker pace.
