KD Lowes Moose 10 10 10 10 I LOVED this story and everything about it! Total commitment, used your tripod, captured great sound, characaters were awesome. This was a great story!
JK Lowes Moose 10 10 9 10 This story was absolutely amazing! Great story, great characters. Usually too many characters gets confusing, but it really worked for this story. The sound from the kids was great. The mother explaining it to the children was great as well. I liked that the photographer stepped back to get this genuine sound which brought the story above and beyond. Steady shots and great shot composition. Solid commitment to the story.
AH Lowes Moose 10 10 10 10 Everything about this story was amazing. The sound, the characters, the shots. We were excited to see the moose, excited that other people were excited, as we watched we felt like we were there. By getting each shot all around the moose, it helped bring me to the scene. It's not an easy story to shoot either. It's in a parking lot, with people watching. But you encapsulated the feeling, the emotion and

KD Music Before Madness 8 8 9 9 Fantastic pacing and use of nats. Audio was very well blended and I loved the subtle reveal! Great job!
JK Music Before Madness 9 9 9 10 The story was awesome! Loved the quick shots, well-blended audio, and nats. The excellent editing made it feel as though I was there rather than just watching it.
AH Music Before Madness 10 8 8 10 This story is a fantastic opportunity for greatness. There is sound, action, tons of people but I needed to find more. An actual story line was missing for me. The shoot was great, and I like the fact that you could tell the photographer took time to set down the camera and get "the shot". But I still wanted more.

KD We Tried 5 5 5 5 Variety of shots you got made me care about this story. I would have liekd to have heard nats under your video more. Also felt a little long, but overall, nice job.
JK We Tried 6 5 5 6 There was a lot of dedication to the shot variety in this story. I really liked the wide shot. The characters, unfortunately, weren't very memorable. The story was also extremely slow-paced.
AH We Tried 8 5 5 5 This story was really touching. Although I didn't know exactly what was going on until too far in the peice. I feel as if the people weren't that "exciting" didn't have great sound. Make sure while interviewing you sound very interested, make them explain more. The pace could have also been faster.
