- 3/6 9:34 am - Yummy! Great cinematic shots throughout your video. The lighting was nice, but could have used some additional fill light to avoid some shaddows. Your audio levels were great throughout and your voice was nice and clear, good job here. The additional graphics with steps and other text always go a long way in demonstration videos, so great add on. Always try and use some form of gimbal or elbows locked method when filming some movement so it doesn’t look shaky in post. Overall, fantastic work!
- 2/28 8:46 pm - First off, great cheese pull shot at the end. Those make or break videos about grilled cheese sandwiches. When showing your ingredients at the beginning, I don;'t know if both shots are necessary to get the point across. Both shots are fine, but you can probably do with one or another. The sandwich assembly shots/points are good, but when it comes to cooking the sandwich it feels like you are missing steps. For example, do you preheat the pan? If yes for how long? How long do you cook it before flipping it? If this is a video for someone who truly has no idea on how to do this, make sure you are giving them all of the needed steps. Audio levels are good, voiceover is well done and your music selection fits the video well. Lighting in kitchens is tough, and I don't know if you brought in outside lighting, but at the end of the video it could use a little bump to truly show off your sandwich, especially when it is sitting on the plate. Nice work overall...made me hungry for a grilled cheese, so job well done there too :)
- 2/28 3:28 pm - Good moving camera shots at the beginning of the video. Good use of text when you are going over the "steps". Voice-overs are well done. Music selection works well with the images you recorded. Keep producing more videos.
Judge 1
Positives: The narrator delivers the instructions clearly and concisely. The voice over has character that contributes to the piece's mood. The inclusion of camera movement, such as putting the sandwich into the pan at 00:33 helps to add visual interest.
Improvements: Be careful when leaving the camera in auto, at 00:26, the exposure changes as the camera adjusts mid shot and takes the viewer's attention away from what's happening on screen. In the edit, you can give a little bit more breathing room. The visuals at times end up a little ahead of what the voice over is saying when showing what ingredients are needed,
Judge 2
Positives: -Simple yet effective topic. -The quality of microphone and pace of narration is solid.
Improvements: -This was so short and effective there wasn't much need for too much.
Judge 3
Positives: Good, very quick and simple demo. You got a nice, tight variety of shots. The gift of your voice provided clear succinct explanation. The closing shot with the bite out was a strong finish.
Improvements: Nice visuals, but a pretty thin story. Answering some whys would have really personalized andfleshed out your story. Why that cheese selection or the bread? Never heard of mayonnaise on the outside. Why? Family tradition?
