- 2/18 7:55 am - For a performance that seems relatively minimalistic (one guitar player riffing, no backing tracks), I think the camera work does a solid job of making this performance feel intimate and more interesting. There are some minor flubs in the transitions it seems (right before "Smells Like Teen Spirit" kicks in, for instance), and there are some choppier camera work moments, but I think the transitions make this flow nicely.
Judge 1
Positives: Thank you for allowing me to view and judge your video. Stage productions are one of the hardest things to video record because you don't control anything - including the lighting, colors, or audio. I think you did very good work. Super love starting out with opening clip of a super close up!!!! Love the fade used between clips. Super super love the clips from behind. Super brave of you to do. Love the face closeup.
Improvements: Show the crowd a little. Camera zoom was little jerky.

Positives: -great use of close ups to show emotion and talent -great job with variety of shots -- 360 cam very cool especially for a guitarist! Fits the vibe
Improvements: -it's so important to establish the shot with a scene setter, a wide shot is a great way to achieve that -be careful with quick zooms. Try not to take the shot until it's set or communicate with camera crew when the director is taking the shot to make sure they don't change it

Positives: Great use of tight shots to tell the story of the performance Amazing camera movements had a great "one-take" vibe, and use of tight shots. overall a great shoot
Improvements: Audio felt a tad over-distorted everything felt really well frame and cut, but the beginning had some messy cut
Judge 4
Positives: Great camera and directing work with a solo performer. Nice use of camera angles and dissolves between camera shots. Audio and lighting were great and made a difference with the camera shots. Overall fantastic!
Improvements: Not much room for improvement. Could a use a couple more closeups on the the guitar strings and hands from a side angle. Overall great job!
