Judges' Comments

  • We all liked Pedaling Against Pollution because it was simple and the images matched with the audio. It had wonderful quotes that told the story of biking in Paris. It could have been enhanced with more natural sounds of bikes throughout the slideshow. Some of the interviews were over modulated. The others in the category were either too long, needed to be edited tighter or the music was overbearing.

    Block G8 was too long and had a guitar solo in the middle for what seemed to be for no reason, and it had no ambient sound until the end.

    Edit your slideshows, tell your story and get out. You don't have to use every picture and wait until the song ends to end your slideshow. Make it short for impact. Most online users will not sit through long presentations.
