  • 4/23 9:23 am - Strong production here, great insights and use of highlights. This is as solid as I've seen the category. Set is great, use of flat screens on set, etc. A little looking down at screens at times, but that's a minor dig. Excellent work!
  • 4/21 7:56 am - STORY Information presented in the recap was well written and flowed well. PRODUCTION VALUE The whole production was professionally executed. The cutaways to the footage of the game helped enhance the production. Loved the NAT sound of the game footage. Studio lighting was a little harsh on one of the talents. TALENT The hosts articulated the information in a professional manner and seemed to be well researched. Can't wait to see these guys covering pro sports.
  • 4/17 1:48 pm - Great breakdown of the winter tournament both in information and presentation of B-roll to the players and teams discussed on the screen. Occasionally the hosts are glancing at the laptops which is distracting but they are conversational and compelling. The graphic running on the screen behind the hosts is a little annoying at times but overall the set is terrific.
Judge 1

Positives: Great use of b-roll video! Very professional set, camera angles, and graphics. Hosts are very knowledgeable and well-spoken!

Improvements: Audio is a little fuzzy at times. Probably could use another light from the front as faces are in shadow.

Judge 2

Positives: Great on-camera work. You are both very comfortable talking to the camera and to each other. It doesn't feel scripted. It feels like you are having a conversation and that's what a talk show is all about. You both have a strong command of the material. You know what you are talking about. Excellent camera work. Great b-roll to accompany what you are saying. Lighting and the set are great.

Improvements: Natural sound is a tad loud at times and sometimes competes with you. You need graphics, especially with sports, even if it is just a lower third. If you can't add them live, perhaps you can burn them on the video clips?

Judge 3

Positives: Both did a great job speaking to camera bring the audience into their discussion. I like how they made HS sports interesting. They are invested in this.

Improvements: Energy, energy! When doing sports talk you need to match the level of the play we see on the b-roll. I wanted to see some extemporaneous moments... that makes a good show and a way of seeing how these two connect.
