  • 3/3 12:19 pm - Oddly, I have visited Monster Mayhem with my kids so I am aware of this story. This is really well done and well told. There is great use of visuals, sound, and excellent interviews to tell this story. I also like the use of the dad here to make the feature just as much about the young creator as the actual event (that was smart). Seeing him actually do the stuff is important and helps us, as a viewer, understand how complex this actually is. I enjoyed that you went there. The part about money for others is nice, but it does seem a little unrelated to the focus here. Unfortuntaley, this is not a news package due to the fact that it doesn't have any reporter narration. This is a NAT SOUND news package, or honestly, it could've been grown into an interesting documentary. Because of that, I don't think it will do as well in this category.
