- 4/8 10:46 am - Your video had a good intro and it was a nice touch to speak on stretching and showcase it on camera. The audio levels and dialogue were also good. To enhance the video further, consider adding some additional lighting to bring it to the next level. Additionally, try incorporating different camera angles to showcase the steps in better detail. Overall, great video!
- 3/1 4:54 pm - Nice work on this video! You made it look easy (and it is not a super simple skill), and you don't make it seem impossible for someone to learn either. You camera shots are good, your editing is well done, and the voice over and music both add to the video. To make this really good video even better, for future projects consider adding some more on-screen graphics (like additional tips as you talk) and if possible, bring a second person to shoot with you so you can cut in some close-ups, shots from across the court, etc. Very nice work on this!
- 3/1 8:51 am - Music selection works well with the images you recorded. Voice-overs are well done. Good variety of different camera angles throughout the video. Great demonstration video. Keep producing more videos.

Positives: The demonstration is well structured. Each step is clearly described in the voice over and there is a clear process to follow. Including a information about how to get ready and warm up sets up the rest of the process and gives the viewer context for how to be succesful. Overall, the project has a cohesive style. The music choice and title graphic match the pace and style of the piece.
Improvements: The music does come down a little during the voice over, but the level could come down a little further to not compete with the voice over. There are a few moments that would have benefitted from a closer shot to emphasize the subtleties to the step. For example, a close up of the instructor's hand contacting the ball at 1:40 would have driven home the point made in the voice over.

Positives: -Good graphics and music that really set the tone. -Video provides impactful illustration of stretching and 'how tos'. -Nice use of slow-mo editing so viewer can follow along.
Improvements: -Voice needs to be higher energy. -Lighting when illustrating content along the wall could have been better.

Positives: Good instruction on serving. The shots illustrated your narration.
Improvements: While your narration was spot on, your footage was fairly static. A little explanation of the muscle groups that need special attention during the warm-up would be nice. Some text overlays and or different shot angles would add visual interest. I know you're stuck with the lighting in the gym, but brightening the video up in post would have been nice.
