- 3/3 1:50 pm - + Game camera had a nice angle and moved fluidly. + Nice use of HT camera as a hero cam. You gave the audience the hero shot, but didn't hang on it too long. +/- Minimal use of base-line camera (on one side?) and it was a bit shaky. +PxP was direct and clear. Color jumped in, too, but I was hoping for a bit more conversation where possible. That comes with practice and working together. Overall, I really liked this example.
Judge 1
Positives: Great job directing following the traditional basketball broadcast direction with staying on a wide shot of game play and then cutting to your tight shot of the hero player who scored getting their reactions. Great job going to replay at the stop of play and not missing any action in game play. Score graphic looks good and sized well on screen.
Improvements: The announcers did a good job and not talking over each other and sounded very professional however the announcer mic's were a little over-modulated when they would get excited the sound would also clip. There didn't seem to have any mics picking up any of the natural sounds other than what was heard from the announcer headsets.
Judge 2
Positives: - Really good overall feel to this production. Cameras were smooth, cuts were decisive and appropriate, cutaways were ready and framed well - nice job overall! - Great effective use of replay here - it was good that the operator had one ready as soon as there was an opportunity to get it in, and nice work by the announcers to reference the exact play we were seeing!
Improvements: - Camera 1 ideally should be more dynamic than just panning back and forth. At times we had too much dead space in frame, so as the action gets close down to the basket, the operator should zoom in slightly to help show what's going on. Just make sure that it's smooth and controlled and that you're ready to pull back out if the ball goes back to midcourt.
Judge 3
Positives: Color announcer is good. He knows when to cut in. Replays are good.
Improvements: Generally, the wide shot is too wide and needs to zoom in when the action moves towards the basket. Play-by-play announcer is a bit choppy.
