A Lasting Memorial 8 8 8 8 Good open, had no idea where the story was going based on the opening shot, kept my interest. The shots were great, especially the shots of the flags with the sun shining behind them. Loved the use of the music and nats in key parts of this story.

We're Tired of Kim Davis 6 7 7 6 Great start to the story, great use of tight, medium and wide shots. Great use of nats throughout the piece. Great shot of waitress wiping table from underneath, a steady shot would have made it even better. Nice job overall.
We're Tired of Kim Davis 8 8 8 9 I really liked the opening, got me right into the heart of the story. At :30 I think you missed a soundbit. The standup what not really needed in this one. Overall Great job.
We're Tired of Kim Davis 8 9 8 9 Real general news. Beautiful opening, took me there nicely, great idea to use waiter advance the story. didn't need the standup, but remember if you use stand up you need to have a punctuation between repoter standup and next track!!! but over all was great. keep up the good work.
We're Tired of Kim Davis 8 8 8 8 Enjoyed the effort to setup all the activity then take us to the waitress. worked really well. It personallized the story and set it apart from the standard nuts and bolts that is normally done. Only critisizm is to make each shot steady and well composed. Overall nice job.

bm wjw Cotton Weaver 7 6 6 8 Really good hustle following that guy. I know it can be tough, but I would have like some tripod shots of EMT stuff for cutaways. But solid overall
db wjw Cotton Weaver 7 7 7 7 Felt more feature than General. Liked how you introduced Cotton slowly. Try to avoid using so many ground shots. Good use of lav. Nice effort to capture moments. Would have liked to hear more actual nats (other than voice nats) Overall enjoyed.
pz wjw Cotton Weaver 7 7 7 7 A lot of nats, great use of them, loved that you were able to follow Cotton around while he worked, added an element to the story. Good job.
