AM BN9 Neighborhood Waste 8 9 9 9 I like the use of GoPro video with the sprinkler heads and the weaved nats. Nice creativity with the stand up.
PS BN9 Neighborhood Waste 9 9 9 9 Nice Job. Love the use of the gopro with the sprinkler heads. Great job all around.
TFK BN9 Neighborhood Waste 9 9 9 9 great shots, editing, and clever sound bites. Good job!
MA BN9 Neighborhood Waste 8 8 9 9 Great variety of shots. Nice wide scenic shots and then a lot of great tight shots. Be careful to not over due it with the tight stuff. Some of the shots, espcially towards the end, looked the same. Very good sequencing. A good example of showing sequencing that isn't someone doing something. Loved the GoPro shots and the stand-up. Nice job!
