- 4/8 10:54 am - Your video was excellent, featuring a great introduction that immediately drew me in. The use of graphics and text complemented the camera shots nicely, enhancing the overall presentation. The audio was clear and comprehensible, making it easy to follow along. Very well done!
- 3/1 5:02 pm - Voice overs and music are well done. Sound effects add a nice touch. Also I appreciate the selection and variety of camera angles and shot varieties. Technically, you made three different cold foams, but 1 and 2 were the same thing with different syrups, right? This video is good, but it would be even stronger if you demonstrated the base the second time and then talked about how you can use a variety of syrups with that base. Then you are essentially giving you audience unlimited options to choose from. That being said, your third one should stand alone (and it does a nice job doing so) because you add in more elements to make the foam. Overall well done!
- 3/1 9:03 am - Good use of Close-Up camera shots at the beginning of the video. Voice-overs are well done. Good use of music and sound effects in the video. Good use of transitions between camera shots. Good use of text throughout the video. Great demonstration video. Keep producing more videos.
Judge 1
Positives: The piece embraces a visual theme with the decoration of the counter that sets the scene as being fall. The titles and graphics are well executed and help make the process easy to follow. The structure is well paced. The choice to not show how to make the base for each cold foam makes sense and streamlines the making of the successive varieties of foam.
Improvements: The audio levels in this piece could use a little refining. The voice over is at different a volume over the course of the video and at times is a little quiet in comparison. There is a good variety of shot sizes and angles, but the few sped up handheld shots (like at 2:11) are a little distracting when following more static shots or controlled movements.
Judge 2
Positives: -Editing and shots were interesting. -Speeding up video works
Improvements: -Need a graphic and brief explainer at the very beginning that packages the video better before diving in. -The two narrators were confusing. -Not sure what the sound effect was supposed to do. -When Joe is mentioned, he hasn't been introduced as a character so that isn't clear.

Positives: Solid script and directions. Good teamwork narrating. You've got a good variety of shots. I like how you caught the drip down the glass. I really appreciated the Chicago weather crack at the end.
Improvements: The pop sound is unnecessary and a little intrusive. Your plethora of shots borders on overkill. How does the shot change add to the visual interest and advance the storyline? When you pan and tilt what are you leading our eyes to see?
