- 4/19 8:13 pm - The presenter clearly explained the process. Good variety of different video camera shots throughout the production. Good use of fast motion. Music selection worked well with the images you recorded. Very well done. Keep producing more videos.
- 2/23 2:34 pm - Good camera shots to demonstrate the process and the equipment. Good lighting and nice shots that were in focus. Voice over was clean and clear. Music bed was nice instrumental track and mixed appropriately (not too loud or distracting). Editing pace was good; it moved through the whole process efficiently.
Judge 1
Positives: Nice set up instructions and logical order to getting everything together for a specific shoot. You've got some great gear.
Improvements: All talking head shots for the narrator took away from the visual interest. That would have been fine for the intro and outro. Doing your narration while placing the equipment would have been more interesting as well showing where things are to be placed as well. Seemed a little dark.
Judge 2
Positives: The demonstration does a good job of condensing everything within the allowable time. Assuming that the person learning from the video is familiar with the layout of the studio, this highlights the important parts of the process. The shots of the narrator match the tone of the video and make good use of the space.
Improvements: The shot at 1:22 is underexposed and stands out compared to some of the other shots. Since filming in a studio, add more light and potentially adjust the camera settings. Really small detail, but double check your script/final audio for clarity - at 0:34 the instructor says "wooden hemicircle", not "wooden semicircle". It can distract the viewer and cause them to focus on the wrong things.
Judge 3
Positives: A lot of information in a short amount of time. For Sure. Good camera work
Improvements: I think you would need to use short hand to take notes during this video. Though difficult to fit all of the information in a three minute video, it was way too fast. Maybe split up your series into several more videos focusing on smaller specific steps - i.e. Stage Set-up. Camera Set-up. Wiring Set-up. I can't judge the content specifically because I didn't see Parts 1-3.
