Entry Description
Neuqua Valley Varsity Boys Basketball hype video made to be played before home games on the brand new video scoreboards. This season was the first season with video scoreboards in our main gym. To take full advantage of them, this video was created to be played before our starting lineup introductions to hype up the crowd and build excitement. This video was a challenge because a lot of people were involved and everything needed to line up, we had to find a time our crew and players were available, but we also had to coordinate with the Athletic Director to reserve the gym, but more importantly with the maintenance staff to turn off the fire alarms for 2 hours to include the haze.

- 3/4 10:59 am - Nicely edited. Good use of music combined with natural sound as well. Graphics at the end tie this together nicely as well! Overall well done!
Judge 1
Positives: Great use of the specialty shoot to start the piece (needed more of it). Great shots of the fans on the court. The edit from black and white to color was an excellent editorial choice. Very good pacing in the edits.
Improvements: MORE Crowd noise REALLY would have helped bring a high-energy level even higher. As with most back panels a little more creativity and information/visual would have boosted an already strong piece.
Judge 2
Positives: Production coordination was strong, great job organizing all the moving parts. Use of multiple sound elements helped build energy.
Improvements: Graphics at the end could be integrated earlier. Specifically the style of the elements at 1:03, take those blocks and sprinkle them throughout the video to help brand the video. The Get Loud title and logo felt added at the end instead of built into the full piece. Brightness in the gym could be lowered slightly as it felt too bright.

Positives: - Really enjoyed this. I'm always amazed/impressed at the high school level when schools add videoboards and hype videos, and for this being your first one I thought it was really great. Especially love that you had clips including the fans - if you're trying to get them engaged right before lineups, showing a rowdy atmosphere as part of the video is a great way to do it. Great choice. - Good music choice and - more importantly - the sound was mixed in a way that at parts where it made sense to hear the scream or other natural sound from the video clips, we were easily able to do so.
Improvements: - Where possible, focus on game highlights that are as close to the action as possible. Many of the ones you used were, but then we started in a section of clips shot from the top of the bleachers - or on the other side of the court. There wasn't anything wrong with the clips or camera work, but as an editing choice the more you can bring the fans close to the action, the better that's going to feed excitement and energy.
