Judges’ Comments
- Brad Ingram
This had a good deal of entries in it but only one really stood out the most. “Praying for Benazir” was ROCK SOLID! Simple cuts followed with great pacing throughout the entry made this a no brainer for top spot. Second,Third and HM’s where a toss up since all had one thing or another wrong with them. Over all the web folks are slowly coming around too know what good editing is and how to do it every day.

“Praying for Benazir”... very solid and straight ahead edit. let the piece breathe to show the emotion. very clean.
“Capital Hill gets Exercised”... good paced humerous story. well cut with good use of the material.
“Walter Harris Funeral”... good intro. good use of the still photos. not solemn allowed some levity. solid close.
