1st Place

Mike Richard KXAS NBC 5 "Serena's Big Day"

Judges Comments
WS WHP Serena's Big Day 9 8 7 8 very touching story and great setup to the big day. loved all the nats that you were able to capture of the pumpkin carving and pill bottles. you allowed the story to breath when it needed to and let the viewer take it all in. not much I would have done differnetly. LG WHP Serena's Big Day 9 8 9 9 I really liked this story. It was filled with emotion and really flowed well. I really liked how you had all the elements from begining to end and not just pictures of each event. Overall great story. ds WHP Serena's Big Day 9 8 9 9 Such a beautiful story! good setup, great characters. lots of solid nats. good call on including the clip where she's 'testing' the mic.

2nd Place

Turner Twyman KMBC, Kansas City "Patriot Features"

Judges Comments
WS WHP In Depth_Patriot Features 10 9 8 9 wow what and amazing story and loved how you let the people tell the story. loved the nat open of the guy setting up and also all the little nat sots during the story. The only negative thing I would have to say is I would have like some more medium and wide shots to know where I am. feel like there were a few too many tights. Good pacing and good shot selection. LG WHP In Depth_Patriot Features 8 9 8 9 This story was filled with emotion and showing the guy setting up his equipment gave this veteran stroy a different angle then most. I wasn't a huge fan of the music under the entire story and some of the nats seemed to be a little high but over all great job. ds WHP In Depth_Patriot Features 8 9 8 8 Was glad that the reporter didn't interject too often, letting the characters tell the story. That being said, I felt like the nats jumbled together and stepped on each other in a few places. A little more breathing space, don't let the story race off on its own. Great shot variety.

3rd Place

Turner TwymanKMBC, Kansas City "Small Ball"

Judges Comments
WS WHP In Depth_Small Ball 8 8 8 8 nicely told story. At times  your nat sound overpowered your reporter track. Good nats and good shot selection. You kept the viewer engaged throughout the story. LG WHP In Depth_Small Ball 9 8 8 9 This story was well thought out and put together nicely. The only thing you need to watch is the audio. At times it went from high to low but overall good job. ds WHP In Depth_Small Ball 9 8 9 9 SO CUTE. good setup, good use of quick cuts to match the reporter track. lighting was crummy in the gym, but it looked like crummy gym lighting, not your fault. would have been nice to hear from some of the kids
