- 4/29 9:05 am - Good use of replay, but don't miss the extra point. Great shot composition on replay cameras.
- 4/29 9:04 am - Do not cut to ISO cameras mid-play.
Judge 1
Positives: Great replay of the touchdown. Loved seeing how you stayed on it a bit longer to show the player reaction. Good dynamic shots from cameras. I liked seeing the bench shots and reaction shots from players as each play went on. Directing was very dynamic in their cutting.
Improvements: While I loved seeing the second replay angle of the touchdown, we missed the start of the extra point kick. Make sure if you have another angle to make sure you have enough time to show it. Try to avoid cutting off of game cam until the play fully unfolded. Your game cam is welcome to crash in on the ball as the play finishes, then cutting to a close cam would be appropriate.

Positives: - Good job by the director of utilizing all of the angles available, and great camera work by everyone to be in focus, properly framed, and following the action. - Sound was very clean and well mixed here, which is such an important but often overlooked part of live sports!
Improvements: - Watch the timing on replays. After the touchdown you tried to sneak in a second look - and it was a great one! - but we missed the extra point. It would be better to show the extra point attempt live, then go to that extra look. In that scenario you know you'll have lots of time before the kickoff to fill, and also if the extra point was missed... or blocked and returned by the defense... we'd really want to see it.

Positives: I like the camera work a lot. Good use of cuts and different angles. Football became USA's favorite sport to watch on TV because the camera angles and directing are so advanced. And you did a great job with that. I like the graphics for the scores and the transitions for the replays. Subtle but effective.
Improvements: The marching band is a little overpowering for me, in terms of sound balance. It's fun to have loud marching band come through on a football broadcast, but I don't think it should prevent me from hearing the announcers. Announcers I would try to be a little less casual and also a little more confident with your tone. Make the viewers think you are football experts, not only with WHAT you say, but also HOW you say it. Great job overall!
