JFL - KGTV Spirit Fingers 8 9 9 9 That was shot incredibly well. The sound was captured really nicely and the anticipation was on point. You got some amazing shots of skaters coming in to frame and out. Solid work. I have no complaints. I have no suggestions.
DP - KGTV Spirit Fingers 9 9 9 9 This was great! you anticipated the action edited to the action. great nats. I was pleasently surprised to not find a single gopro shot in the piece.
TH- KGTV Spirit Fingers 8 8 9 8 Nice work, loved your framing and anticipation. Interview was shot well. Tight shots were clean, audio was clean. Over all great job!
2nd Place
Ruth Morton WBFF "Sounds of Freedom"
Judges Comments
JFL - KGTV Sounds of Freedom 7 9 8 8 I've never seen an air show shot so friggin well. That was anticipation at its finest. My biggest issue was I couldn't identify the emcee's face. Then I couldn't identify where these people were watching. The interview shots were creative as hell but I needed some kind of shot to tie them in with the show. I saw some wideshots but I still couldn't connect the spectators with where they were in relation to the show. Still an amazing job.
DP - KGTV Sounds of Freedom 8 8 9 9 You did an amazing job. The interview framing was the best out of this category. your audio was crisp clean. The only down side I could find is there were a couple shots of the narrators that I felt were too tight.
TH- KGTV Sounds of Freedom 7 8 8 8 Nice job. Very very clean. Loved your ability to anticipate where the angels would be in your frames. Also loved your ability to frame an interview. I could watch them flying through your lens all day. Nice work.
3rd Place
Luke Rollins WBFF "I Love Okra"
Judges Comments
JFL - KGTV I Love Okra 7 9 8 8 Your shots were clean. Your audio was clean. I was down in the dirt with the ocra and those rakes. Loved the depth on all of your interviews. I DO wish there was a little more character development. Linwood or maybe one of the kids would have been nice to get to know. But there is absolutely no arguing you know how to abuse a camera and audio like a Jedi Knight.
DP - KGTV I Love Okra 8 8 8 8 Really solid story here. Loved the clean audio of the tools getting into the dirt. Just watch your lav placement on a couple of your subjects. You got to hide that wire.
TH- KGTV I Love Okra 8 8 8 8 Great job, I'm jealous of your lens, you definetly know how to use it. love the nat breaks, and extreme tight shots. Every shot was clean and interesting. Wish I was able to be more constructive but this was just one of those all around clean stories. Well done.
Honorable Mention
Anthony Durso WHTM "First Time Since 1945"
Judges Comments
JFL - KGTV First Time Since 1945 8 7 8 8 You shot this extremely clean. You did some good digging to find that WWII footage and incorporated it well. The next time you have that 4x3 video, feel free to zoom in and fill the screen. It's already grainy and it will be less distracting. I wish I saw your character speaking earlier on. We didn't really identifiy voice with face until too many seconds later. LOVED the shot of his feet. Well done. Great anticipation.
DP - KGTV First Time Since 1945 8 8 8 8 Great story. loved the open, the cell phone shot with the file was fantastic. You could have used it again. The actual picture in the plane and not a floating box on the screen was also good. sloppy lav work ask the woman to run it up her shirt. I agree with TH below wish I got to see him fly at the end. You still did an awesome job on this.
TH- KGTV First Time Since 1945 8 8 9 7 Really enjoyed this. Great open, loved your editing to the kids singing. Love what you did with the iphone shot, wish you did that for the second time you showed old footage. Hide your lav wire!! Wish I got the payoff of seeing him fly, maybe with a gopro or even cell video in this case, felt like I never got the payoff of seeing him fly. Overall great work from a photog standpoint.
