  • 4/30 2:24 pm - This PSA makes great use of visuals and finishes with a clear message. The music is understated and fits the topic well, helping set an emotional mood. Focusing even more on those small visual and sound details could make the story hit even harder. The shots are put together nicely and the editing works well, just be sure to keep the on screen text up long enough for people to read it fully. Overall, really nice work!
  • 4/28 1:02 pm - You have some great images here and a clear message at the end. All that accompanied by a nice music bed makes this is an emotionally compelling piece, nice work! Some things I would suggest are slowing the action down, so the cup getting overflowed (which is a nice metaphor) has more emphasis and meaning; using a tighter shot of the cup in the initial scene, then having the character visibly shaken and overwhelmed and leaving, while keeping the audio going of the over-flowing water, maybe even making that water noise louder and louder to highlight the overwhelming sensation. These tight and close visual and auditory cues go a long way to tell the story. Keep up the good work!
