DELIVERY: Good. Nice job on your stand up.

INTERVIEWS: Good choice, but the sound bite was too long. Use some of the information in the interview for your voiceover. Nice job rolling footage over interview. Another interview with a performer or some one from the audience would have added to the story.

ORIGINALITY: Interesting.

WRITING: Watch out for editorializing. Attribute facts to their source or back up with stats. What is JW consulting? Is that who puts the event together. If so tell us that. Use more writing and less of the interview.

VIDEO: Shot your own video. Was there permission to use this footage? If so we need to know and we need to know if we have permission to use this footage for broadcast. If you had shot your own footage, you could have gotten crowd shots and natural sound. Think about the location of the stand up. It would have been much better to film at the event.

AUDIO: Use natural sound. We would have loved to have some of the music from the event in the story.

EDITING: More B-roll is needed. Don't recycle footage in a 50 second piece. More footage will help with overall editing. Nice job rolling footage over the interview.
