Judge 1

Positives: 1) set in limbo 2) readers

Improvements: 1) graphics at end are a bit jumbled/bad layout 2) a voice over at the beginning of the psa explaining the concept would have been better

Judge 2

Positives: Text on screen concurrent with the characters' speaking was very effective Good sequencing showing the papers being written out and then being read out loud - the part where people wrote out their thoughts on paper at the table was very good.

Improvements: Opening Titles/wording was not up long enough to process/absorb. Background edits behind the characters was distracting.

Judge 3

Positives: 1) This was a really engaging story and interesting way to get the message across 2) strong call to action

Improvements: 1) Graphics in the beginning of the spot were too fast and hard to read, took away from production quality 2) The beginning sequence could have been quicker to get to the main message faster
