ret Slot Car Racers 10 10 10 10 what a great well shot and edited story! Perfect use of GoPro. Transistions well done lots and lots of nats.The only downside, this would have made a great nat only story.
gab Slot Car Racers 9 9 9 9 Great use of gopros. Very good nats and editing. can't think of anything I'd change. Kept me glued to tv the whole time. The standup could use a little bit more difference in the two shots, zoom in a little more or move closer.

clk Scientific Poll 10 10 10 10 OMG!!!!! So fantastic! Great writing! Love the mix of music! Top Notch all the way around!!!! Fantastic!!!
dms Scientific Poll 9 9 9 9 really fun way to do this story- lots of great stuff here- only thing I struggled with was the use of the hand mic becasue its distracting but if no fishpole then you have little choice
gab Scientific Poll 9 9 9 9 Good use of nats, great variety of shots. Good work with reporter. Not a fan of mic flag, but this was probably necessary. The mix was a little loud when you had music, rolling wheels and reporter audio.

Judges Comments
