- 4/23 9:16 am - Nice sports themed set environment, there's a lot of great insight and sports knowledge here too. Hosts are able to ad lib and have good conversation that is inviting for viewers to think about and want to join the convo. Be cool to integrate some video clips or even some stills of what's being discussed? The lower thirds are well done too. I think this whole thing would be really solid with visuals/footage of the discussion topics. Afterall, it is a video talk show, not radio, may as well use the medium! Good job guys.
- 4/17 1:46 pm - Both hosts are knowledgeable and conversational. Both hosts are constantly looking down at laptops which is distracting. The set looks great and it is cut quite well.
- 2/24 9:18 am - Story: Topical subject matter. Fact based information is clear. Unscripted comments were professional and well researched Production Value Sound Professional with no issues. Camera :Composition and framing was professional. Lighting: Professional and used light effectively. Conveyed a professional mood to the talk show. Talent: Talent was well spoken and well researched. The blend of news stories with commentary was extremely professional.
Judge 1
Positives: Nice composition of the camera shots. Fun and engaging tease/intro at the top!
Improvements: Hosts could work on speaking more clearly. It'd be nice to have some visuals, be it photos or videos.
Judge 2
Positives: Overall, the show looks great. Love the open and graphics. You both are pretty comfortable talking and you have a command of your topic. The lighting looks good on both of you. Excellent work on the mic. They are super strong mics, so you don't need to be super close to them. Your audio sounds really good.
Improvements: Try not to depend on your notes so much. It keeps you looking down and you're not connecting with your co-host or your audience. Try putting key words on your paper versus scripting something out. This will help make the chat more conversational. A minor directing issue when Aaron is left on camera too long while Phillip is talking.
Judge 3
Positives: Good cold open. Talent knows what they are talking about.
Improvements: Please memorize your open - it's short and should not be read. That immediately will engage an audience Don't be afraid of looking at camera - that is your audience.
