- 4/8 9:15 am - Your video was excellent, starting with a nice intro that effectively caught the viewers' attention. You did a great job explaining why it's important to change your car's oil right at the beginning. The camera switching and cinematography were well done, and the graphics you used to showcase each step were very helpful. It would be beneficial to also mention some tips verbally, like using an oil wrench and describing what it looks like. The use of multiple shots at once looked great, adding a dynamic element to the video. Finally, the editing at the end, where your logo disappeared as you closed the hood, was a fantastic touch and showed great attention to detail.
- 3/1 8:13 am - Presenter does a great job addressing the camera at the beginning of the video. Good use of Close-Up camera shots and moving camera shots throughout the video. Good use of text throughout the video. Music selection works well with the images you recorded. Editing is well done. Great demonstration video. Keep producing more videos.
- 3/1 7:34 am - Graphics, music and transitions are well done and add to this great video. Lots of B-roll while Mr. May is talking which is awesome. Love your camera angles and variety of shots. Audio is mixed well and your video is edited well too. The little touches you put in throughout this video as well truly add to it, such as the hood eliminating the graphics at the end and the music perfectly cutting off as well. Very nice work!
Judge 1
Positives: Overall, each step is easy to follow and it is easy to see what each step is. The camera angles feels intentional and the composition directs the viewer to what is important in the frame. The video is well structured. The introduction explains what the viewer will learn and is a nice way to start the video. The pacing established in the edit explains things well while keeping the viewer engaged.
Improvements: The b-roll during the intro does not reinforce what Mr. May is saying, the car's emblem distracts the viewer by making them question what the make of car has to do with why you should change the oil. The music choice complements the feel of the video, but the level could be brought down to allow for more clarity and make it easier to hear the dialogue.

Improvements: -Music sometimes overwhelmed the explanation.
Judge 3
Positives: Good visual storytelling getting tight shots of the teacher's explanations. The text overlays are a good, way to vary explanations with your voice. Really liked the logo closing at the end.
Improvements: Using the final shot in reverse revealing your logo with the hood going up would have added nice symmetry, bookends effect. Show the dirty oil on the dipstick when he mentions it. A quick tip overlay on why you put oil on the gasket would have been consistent with other explanations of the process.
