- 4/24 3:03 pm - Nice dynamic between announcers. I did have trouble hearing in spots. Nice cutaways and huddle cam. While it might “suck” for the player who served into the net, it might be a little informal for a broadcast. Composition on shots is really well done. Nice job on this. Keep going!
- 4/23 9:10 am - Good to see coverage of something other than football or basketball games. Corner scorebug is a bit large. Use cutaways cameras/shots more. Iso shots of the players, fans. Huddle camera was a great cut. Outstanding work here.
Judge 1
Positives: Great directing with the action of gameplay. when there are dead balls, the viewer sees huddles, and player shots, and when there's a make or game point, we see the team reactions. The announcers were knowledgeable of the sport and were able to keep the viewers well informed with game play.
Improvements: The wide center shot camera seemed to be slightly off balance and the horizontal was slightly canted. The announcers at times out of excitement would talk over each other and at times, their audio would clip/distort.
Judge 2
Positives: - I really liked the addition of the handheld camera to get us inside the huddles during the timeout! Great hustle by the operator to get to both huddles and show how each team was handling that moment! - The director was doing a really good job of maximizing camera resources. We saw a variety of shots of both teams and not a lot of wasted downtime, which kept things interesting for the viewer to watch.
Improvements: - There were a number of examples where the announcers talked over one another. Work on giving your partner time to make their point without saying "yeah" over the top, which makes it hard for the viewer to hear the point being made. Also, avoid saying that something 'sucks' for a particular player. "That's unfortunate" would be a better phrase there. - The game camera lost the ball a few times. Generally speaking in volleyball you know which direction a team is going to hit the ball, so make sure you work on anticipating that movement so you aren't caught off guard!

Positives: Good cutaways, but don’t forget about the crowd. Director didn’t miss anything. Announcers were okay, but it appeared they didn’t know very much background information on the players. Their job is to fill in he blanks when the action pauses. Having a hard time knowing who was the pay-by-play announcer and who was color.
Improvements: Felt that the actually calling of the game could have used more players’ names during the actual play. Generally, it felt that the announcers were just watching the game and not adding much to it. You might use a close-up on the throw in as he gets ready and not just sit on the wide shot. Be careful not to miss any action, though.
