- 4/8 9:17 am - Your video was excellent, featuring a great intro with a fantastic use of animation and keyframe editing that immediately drew me in. The lighting was consistently good, and the overall editing was superb, resulting in a polished and professional feel. Additionally, the directions were clear and easy to follow, making the process accessible and enjoyable. Great work!
- 3/1 4:35 pm - If you are not going to talk during a demonstration video your steps need to be clearly explained and shown...and this video does just that. I love the graphics, music and editing. Lots of overhead shots while you are working (which makes sense), but some cut-ins of close-ups would make this strong video even stronger. Also love the creativity of the entire video as well. Well done!
- 3/1 8:29 am - Music selection works well with the images you recorded. Good use of text throughout the video. Good use of transitions between camera shots. Good use of Close-Up camera shots at the end of the video. Keep producing more videos.

Positives: The elements in the video all play into the story - the music underscores the bright upbeat energy and the "ingredients" list is a clever way to present what supplies are needed. The steps are well paced - each graphic holds for long enough to be read but not too long. The camera angles clearly show what is being done.
Improvements: A small thing, but the stop motion style used in step one could be carried out throughout the entire piece for greater stylistic cohesion. The use of dissolves hint at this, but sometimes cuts off a step. The music compliments the mood of the piece, but to take the sound a step further, the use of sound effects such as scissors cutting would further enhance the action happening.

Positives: -Nice use of upbeat music to drive the pace
Improvements: The ingredients portion was a little tough to read. -Without narration, I'm not exactly sure what I should be paying attention to.

Positives: Great demo. I appreciated your passage of time shots and text overlays. Animations lended nice visual interest.
Improvements: While text and music are nice, we missed the gift of your voice. How about some shots transferring the toppers from the parchment paper after all that hard work? Where did the sprinkles come from? We saw you at the beginning. A shot of you to close would have been consistent.
