  • 3/11 8:04 am - Editing worked well lighting, music, played well liked the "bark" at the end Agree with the other judge, spice up the tag
  • 3/4 9:20 am - Graphics, lighting, music and editing all come together well to show off some great camera work. Watch audio levels on music as they seem a bit too hot. The voiceovers from the announcers are a nice touch too! The tag at the end of the video is great to let us know what game this is for, but it seems like it was just popped on at the end. I'm guessing you use this video for multiple games (and that is smart), but I would suggest you dress up the tag at the end a bit more too to make it fit better with the whole feel of this video. Overall well done!

Positives: The specialty shoot with the players and the smoke machine and the lighting was DONE well and EDITED/USED well (players howed personality!) The text interstitials kept the energy with the way they were edited and were well placed. Same for the way the back panel was laid out.

Improvements: The shots used of the team OUTSIDE did not have the same effect as the one at the end IN THE GYM. They didn't fit as well with the energy of the piece. The edit from the last interstitial to the group in the gym seemed to take a while - faster move would have been more in keeping with the piece. I feel like these are nitpicking because this was a very good piece overall - uses a lot of elements most of the other entries don't have.

Judge 2

Positives: Great shots of the players. Lighting was excellent. Story was clearly told throughout the video.

Improvements: The shot of the high school with players walking out felt off compared to the rest of the video. A lower angle could reduce the space between the Crown Point High School text and the players. The smoke machine for player shots worked well. Try adding a smoke effect behind text graphics to fill in the black space.

Judge 3

Positives: - Really cool to have had the ability to do a shoot with the team. Loved the lighting, smoke, and effects that you brought into that opportunity, this made it feel much bigger than a typical high school basketball game. - Camera work was great on the various ISO shots

Improvements: - Towards the end when the audio told us to be loud, the shot of the team was them standing in place completely silent. Would've been fun to work them into this by either having them yell or show some type of personality in that moment. - I would've kept the music going fully through the video and the game promo at the end to make it feel a little more cohesive.
