Sports Editing Winners

1st: “We Believe”; William Middeke, WHO/Des Moines, IA

Judges’ comments

Lori Allred: I found myself cheering for the blue team-not knowing who they were or whom they were playing. “We Believe” gave you a ticket to the game, and made you feel like you were walking through the stands. The cut away of the high heels was a nice touch! There was a good mix of shots and natural sound. Nice pacing-I know we keep talking about the pacing-and it seems a bit elementary, but when it’s done well, you really notice it. Nice job evoking excitement. Go Drake! (Whoever you are.)
John Hyjek: “WE BELIEVE” had such high emotion and created caring from the viewer due to its tight editing that it was deserving of a first place award. No other awards were given.
