Entry Description
This is a recap montage of Neuqua Valley's 2025 Fall Pep Rally. Each year on the Friday before homecoming, Neuqua Valley hosts a pep rally featuring grade-level competitions, performances by the dance and cheer teams, and more. Shot during the pep rally and edited in under two hours to be posted to Youtube and social media, this video had a very quick turnaround time.

- 4/30 3:02 pm - Fun mash up promo of your school's pep rally. Clean, well-composed shots. Music bed fits well and we get to hear a lot of natural audio throughout. Lots of high energy. My one suggestion is to find a way to end it more smoothly. It kind of just cuts off at the end.
Judge 1
Positives: Great examples of how fun this event looks to be Carried the Nashville theme throughout with choice of music and dance routines
Improvements: lighting was erratic with some scenes looking washed out some of the jump cuts and editing were erratic
Judge 2
Positives: The way the edits and cuts sync to the music is genuinely impressive, especially for a live event turnaround. That kind of rhythmic editing takes real skill and it shows. The energy of the pep rally comes through clearly and the video moves well through most of the event coverage.
Improvements: The opening animation is fun and creative but it doesn't really match the aesthetic of anything that follows, so it feels a little disconnected from the rest of the piece. The bigger note is the ending. The final singing segment runs too long and the video kind of fizzles out rather than finishing strong. For a hype recap like this, you want to end on a high. Find the loudest, most energetic moment and land there.

Positives: Wow! Exhilarating and powerful. It certainly captured the spirit of the message. If this video doesn't pep someone up, I don't know what rally will. Loved the opening "building of the stands" bit. Set the stage for the whole video.
Improvements: The only thing I can see that would have been appropriate is showing the events chronologically? Like I would have liked to see each side of the "tug-of-war" consecutively. The beginning and end of the races not broken up between other activities.
