- 4/30 7:22 am - Production value was good. Love the lower third graphic to communicate to the audience what was being discussed. I would have liked to see the graphic up longer. Talent seemed knowledgeable on the topic and brought great energy to the sho
- 4/29 11:55 am - Not a sports guy at all, but the anchors were clearly enthusiastic and able to carry on a conversation that seemed to have a good flow from topic to topic. Good clear audio quality. Wide shot is a little too wide. Different kinds of B-roll like statistics and graphics for players being discussed could have been helpful.
- 4/16 1:58 pm - Question of Justin Fields vs Caleb Williams discussion is a bit non sensical. Fields has become a backup now in 3 different places and Williams almost led a team to the NFC championship in year 2. Running back conversation was better. Host on the right needs to stop looking at cameras that aren't on him. Ashton Jeanty was picked 6th in the draft, Colston Loveland went 10th, how could the Bears have drafted Jeanty?
Judge 1
Positives: -Good lighting and variety of camera shots -Solid and balanced audio
Improvements: -Make sure to select visuals that are good quality, not too pixelated. -Keep working on your delivery as presenters. Slow down a little and try to avoid "um/uh"
Judge 2
Positives: -The hosts had a clear passion for the topic, which helped make the discussion feel energetic and engaging! -The structure of the segment was easy to follow with a variety of shots.
Improvements: -Work on tightening some of the pauses or transitions between speakers so the conversation flows more naturally. -Consider staying on the visual elements a bit longer to give the viewer a chance to see the clip. Feel free to rerun the sports clips back-to-back.
Judge 3
Positives: Strong opening energy from talent immediately sets the tone. Topic bar graphic is effective and should be used more often, especially with updates during segments. Adding stats on screen could be a strong addition and help support discussion.
Improvements: Improve timing of B-roll by cutting to it after the response begins rather than during question being asked. This could help maintain flow. Consider holding B-roll longer or looping shots when needed to maintain visual interest. Reduce filler words like “ums” as even small pauses would improve overall delivery and confidence.
