STCE Thanksgiving Tourney - EA vs. PE - 11/22/23 Live varsity basketball action from the Ron Johnson Classic Thanksgiving Tournament produced by South Elgin's Beacon Academy; East Aurora vs. Proviso East WED 11/22/23. MMEA Sub Director: Olivia Warren Engineering: Justin Burzynski Announcer: Nick Martinez
Positives: Great work! The camera cutting and following the hero player was great. Nice job going to a close up of the free thrower while we wait for them to shoot the ball. Score strip graphic looks good and great job having both the game clock and shot clock included in the graphic. Natural sounds were also heard other than just the announcer mics.
Improvements: When cutting around the "hero" player number 4, try to keep the front faces of them in action and avoid cutting to the player's back.
Positives: - I thought this was really well done! Great use of lots of different camera angles, replay, and more. The game camera operator did a great job of keeping up with the action as things were moving quickly up and down the floor which is always the most important thing - never lose the ball! - This is a small thing but I was so happy that the director chose to take the 2nd free throw from the game camera. Any time there's a chance that a missed FT would lead back to live action your best bet is to be on the game camera, and in this case it certainly paid off because we were clearly able to see what happened. Good work!
Improvements: - Watch your focus on the under basket camera. It was a little soft for the time we saw it in this clip. That's nit picky, because it's the only thing I saw here that I didn't like. Great job!
Positives: Good use of four cameras. Replays are good.
Improvements: Would be nice if we could see player's faces when there is a break in the action. Camera does not match in video levels.
