- 4/15 8:04 am - Good stuff, would have liked to see some graphics earlier
- 3/4 9:28 am - Good video overall. Music works well with the clips, editing is well done, and the effects are a nice touch. The graphic at the end to let us know who the game is against is great too...but maybe hold it a bit longer on screen. Small things, but on your graphic, make sure you proofread. You ask the viewer a question, but there is no question mark on the text. It's a little thing but the little things matter in the end. Overall great work!
Judge 1
Positives: Good mix of real-speed action and slo-mo action. Edited sequence at the beginning worked very well with the music.
Improvements: Music choice worked well for the way the first few shots were edited but it was intrusive after that and not the best tempo choice. As with other entries - what is this promoting? A game upcoming or other? We don't know that until the end panel based on all the action we see - could have been more announcer calls.
Judge 2
Positives: Including the announcer audio was a great touch. Video was very well lit.
Improvements: Add more ambient crowd and game audio throughout. Graphics can enhance storytelling. Consider adding player names on screen. Specifically around the 50 second mark when the announcer calls a name, add text to reinforce who it is and what is happening. Also consider adding score information to show momentum. Try spreading out the ending graphics so the matchup is introduced earlier. Condensing the video to under 1 minute may improve pacing.

Positives: - Lots of great game action and highlights throughout the video. The editor did a job job with selecting appropriate clips. - Similarly, the camera work on many of those clips were great.
Improvements: - I didn't love the song choice. It worked well in the beginning for the quick cut montage, but when I think of a hype video I want music that's a bit quicker, more energetic - a driving beat, etc. This was too laid back to get me excited. - To take the next step on your edit - because your highlights were from different games, different cameras, etc. they all looked a bit different in terms of color and lighting. Most major editing programs have some filters on them that will let you standardize all the clips to a look that you choose - brighten up the ones that are too dark, remove some of the blue from ones that weren't quite perfectly white balanced, etc.
