Matt Pearl WXIA "Logan's Run"
Judges Comments
BWo (WBFF) LOGAN'S RUN 10 9 9 10 Great reveals/layers throughout. Excellent character, tons of great moments. One of the most memorable stories I've ever seen. Beginning felt choppy and disjointed from the rest of the football field video though.

Judges Comments
BWo (WBFF) 10 CENT STORIES 6 9 8 8 Technically sound - excellent pacing, sequencing, use of nats. Very compelling character. Well-told story with tons of great moments. One big missing piece from the story: why was the kid doing this?
BJ (WBFF) 10 CENT STORIES 7 7 9 9 Nats were a little choppy. Overall, great commitment. Interesting story, but what's the hook? Why is he doing this?
AY (WBFF) 10 CENT STORIES 7 8 9 10 Great nats, shot variety, audio blending. Way to move around! Never understood why he was writing stories.
BWh (WBFF) 10 CENT STORIES 3 7 7 6 Wanted more background on the character.
AD (WBFF) 10 CENT STORIES 5 8 10 10 Would've liked to hear why he was doing this.
Honorable Mention
Forrest Sanders WSMV "We're Home. They're Home"
Judges Comments
BWo (WBFF) We're Home. They're Home 2 9 10 10 Masterfully shot and edited. Didn't seem like a "newsy" enough story. No organic moments with the interviews; too much production involved. Went on way too long, the pace slowed down about 2:45 in.
BJ (WBFF) We're Home. They're Home 7 8 8 10 Great commitment. Good use of graphics. Story is a bit off...did this run in a newscast? Great job though.
AY (WBFF) We're Home. They're Home 7 7 9 9 Very engaging opening. Masterful editing job. Needs a character to attach the viewer.
BWh (WBFF) We're Home. They're Home 6 7 8 9 Really liked the shots. Felt spooky in a good way. Good nats. I liked that the story was allowed to breathe. Could have been shorter though.
AD (WBFF) We're Home. They're Home 9 9 9 9 Beautifully shot. Good story.
