  • 4/23 9:22 am - South Elgin is always one of the best at this. Nice job. Good cutaways to "hero" of the basket. Nice use of replay. Commentary is done well.
Judge 1

Positives: Good game follow with the wide-shot camera and quickly cutting to the tight upper cam when a player scores and follows the "hero" after the made point. The replay timing was on-point with waiting till a delay in game during free-throws. Talent was very professional and knowledgeable about each team and did a great job at not talking over one-another.

Improvements: Great work! I have nothing to add here.

Judge 2

Positives: - Great work with the replays - having them cued and ready for the next opportunity to get them in to the show! - Cameras did a great job following action and providing the director with good looks that could be used as replays.

Improvements: - For the play-by-play announcer, working on slowing your cadence down a bit. One of the important differences of a visual broadcast (as opposed to radio) is that you don't need to describe every single action to the viewer - we can see it. So, that allows you to slow down a bit, which will make you easier to understand.

Judge 3

Positives: Director created excitement for an exciting game by using shot choice quickly. Announcers were both on the top of the game. Good replays. Game camera made good use of the zoom by pushing in when the action got closer to the basket. The sign of a good director is using all of the cameras to tell the story. Make it hard for someone to tell how many cameras you actually had.

Improvements: Could use some shots of the crowd. Gamera camera needs to push in as action moves towaards the basket.
