Trailer for the 2025 IHSA State Playoffs for York Football. Narrated by York Grad and current Ohio quarterback Matt Vezza.
Positives: Love the use of a narrator and the town/highway shots. This piece had a lot of elements other entries were missing - scores and locations, font treatment, announcer calls - seemed more completely thought out and conceived than others.
Improvements: End panel seems rather plain compared to the rest of the piece. Need more faces - more emotion - this is the PLAYOFFS!!
Positives: Strong story. Bringing in narration was effective and the graphics identifying the speaker worked well. Sound mix of narration, ambient audio, and announcers was excellent.
Improvements: Some color grading felt inconsistent, with certain shots looking flat and others overly bright. The last section of the video could be tightened to improve pacing.
Positives: - Liked the usage of historic game footage to call back on great moments in school history. - Great job with the writing of the script, it really set the tone and established the message for this piece.
Improvements: - Working with narration can be tough - you have to strike the right balance in your audio mix to make it easily understandable over the music and other elements. For the most part you did a good job, but there were a few highlights where we heard an announcer call while the narration was still going - be really careful here. Competing voices at the same time make it hard for the viewer to take in and understand any of it.
