Fast Track: The April 2 Show

For last weeks show, everything went really well, the health minute went perfectly, Sheena's story was amazing, and the sports cast always have fresh and new ideas to bring to the show. It is amazing to see how everyone is becoming so closely comfortable working with everyone. Each week there's an amazing factor of the show.

We are having a great semester and we have a great newscast. 2 more shows! Yay!!

Wow...

I had some time in my Com 252 class to watch the show and I have to say I was thoroughly impressed. Everyone's stories were phenomenal. Good shots, good voice overs, everything looked excellent. The anchors did a great job and big props to Sheena for filling in at anchor! You were great! Lastly, Mandy's weather walk from the wall to the shot with Joe and Tommy was amazing. It was directed and edited perfectly! GREAT JOB EVERYONE! This year has been a blast! Only 2 shows to go!

Love, Robby

April 1st...

There was no fooling on this show! Everyone seemed confident in their roles. Jen looked great doing sports with Tommy. Robbie, I enjoyed doing sports with you again. Joey you are really a natural. I liked how in Joey's segment we did a question and answer segment that included the anchors. Sarah C, our story came out great and was really compelling with the interview from Sarah Strong. Weather was nicely done by Mandy. I got to hand it to Robby and Tommy who did the top 10, that had to be my favorite part of the show.

Great work! Let's keep it up guys!

April 1 Show

Last week's show had a lot of strong points to it. I thought Joey looked really calm and acted as a natural for the 2nd week in a row. It was cool how we had the 2 anchors and then throw it directly to the political commentary. I also thought Veronica sounded really good during her health minute. Her voice was clear and precise and sounded very intelligent concerning the topics she was discussing. I also liked the footage in Sheena's story on the church and the interview that Sarah Wartman did. Last, I like how we keep alternating the anchor who does the umbrella tease because it seems like each brings a different energy to start off the show each week.

March 26th show

I think everyone did outstanding in their new positions. Joey did very fabulous! You are talented on and behind the camera. Veronica did excellent as anchor. Tony .. well what can I say about Tony Manzo, the kid cracks me up! Really impressed with Many, she looks like a true weather girl. Joe and Tommy ... you got some competition in sports with me and Jen! Girl Power taking over sports segment. Stories this week I enjoyed as well. I like how we got students input for the Duke game. Everyone was up to the new challenges we faced this week and conquerred them well. Can't wait to this week's show.

March 26 Show

This show was different because we had people in different roles and I really thought people did a good job in their different segments. Joe rocked the A segment and showed he can be serious when he has to do serious news. Joe showed he can talk about any type of news not just sports. I thought Pat's story was really good because the interview he conducted had great footage and the respondent was clear and precise with what she was trying to convey to Pat. Joey did a real good job on the political update. He seemed poise and collected when he was talking and you would have never noticed that it was his first time on camera this semester. I also thought Swags delivered a real good umbrella tease and showed a lot of excitement, starting the show off to a good start.

FASTTRACK: 3/4 SHOW

Before I forget to say this Robby your improvising on the IU game really knocked my socks off. That was really impressive. Sorry for messing up the prompter the first run through. Joe Parello won my heart this week! His story on the NFL try outs and how extraordinary the times are is so cute and very original. It really humanizes him as an anchor and makes him so likeable to viewers! Also he just looked dashing in the red suit of his with the pocket cloth. That is just pure class. I also liked Sarah Wagner's story on PUDM. It was very thorough! I really really think were coming together gang. Nick great job on the graphics by the way:D You work so hard! We all do!

2/25

We are really starting to get into a groove and I like it! Nadine's Haiti story was really well done, it was a solid interview with excellent information. I also really like Joey's story on college kids and credit cards, I learned a lot! Sarah Cometa sounded really awesome and super confident this week on camera as well as the other anchors! Lookin' good guys!

FASTTRACK: 2/ 19

Picking my brain for the details! I love the fact we always have the very latest footage for sports. We have a lot of sports enthusiasts which is great, because they contribute different thigns to the show the adequately cover all the sports. It was great Robbie and Joe were there for the Ohio State game! Kateland you're doing wonderfully for the sports round up and in my opinion your stories are most consistently the best. Nick your Rudy Goldberg story was solid. Well done! All the anchors just keep getting better and better keep up the good work!

Feb. 26th

Everyone is doing wonderful. Kateland you are doing a nice job filling in for sports round up. I thought all the stories for this week looked great as well. Everyone is becoming more comfortable with the positions behind the scenes. Learning all the duties is a must and everyone is becoming good at more than one thing.

Keep it up everyone.

Jennifer

I agree with you Shadya. Kateland you did a great job filling in for Sports, and I thought we worked well together. Joey, your stories are just amazing. I liked your stand-up, well, sit-down at the end of your first story to tie it all together. It was really nice getting the show done this week on time in a precise manner. The sky is the limit, and we are starting to reach the clouds!
Your Friend and My Favorite,

I really liked this weeks show... I think everyone still continues to improve and everyone should be proud that we finished early this week! I really think that Kateland did well stepping in for the sports round up... She spoke really well and stood nicely next to Robby in it. I also am impressed at the creativity that everyone has to keep stories from becoming repetitive! Good job to everyone and I can honestly say I like working with everyone =]

Feb 25th Show

This show was done with a lot of time to spare and I think that is due to everyone's organization this week. Lighting was a lot better this week and people carried through their speaking parts and background jobs more effectively this week. I really liked Joey's story this week with regards to credit cards and college students. I especially liked the graphic you used with the credit card stats/facts. The graphics on each story in the upper right hand corner I thought were really affective in getting the viewers ready for the upcoming segment. I thought Nadine's interview with the director of the FCA was very informative and effective in the efforts that are going on with Haiti. Last, I liked Mandy's weather report this week. I thought it flowed really well and she seemed sure of herself as a weather forecaster.

Fast Track: The Sixth Show

The show this week was great, the transition in Joey and Sheena's story were in order and flowed well. Jennifer presented well, although she wasn't for sure if she did well on Thursday. Paul did a great job mentioning the "Snowpocalypse," with hope I spelled that correctly!! Everyone did a fine job in directing and controlling the teleprompter, which I always have a problem with controlling. The local and national weather is always a surprise when presented, which happen to be the most interesting and fun segment of the show. Overall, the show went pretty well!!!

Feb. 19th Show

The semester is flying by guys. So far it has been a pleasure working with all of you. This past show was great. Joey you had a lot of good b-roll for your Haiti story and it worked well with your voiceover. Frances I really liked your over the shoulder shot when you were interviewing in your first story. Kateland you had another great story this week, you kind of have a religion story theme going on week to week! Veronica you are doing a wonderful job with the political updates! I know it is a lot of information, but you are doing an excellent job getting through them! Mandy, the national weather is looking better and better each week! You are becoming more natural and it is smoothing out really well!

Patrick keep up the awesome work with putting the show together! You make it look great!

Everyone else great job!

Fast Track: The Fifth Show

The show went pretty well this week, everyone seems to get the hang of everything and I truly appreciate the work you all put into the show. It seems like everyday we all learn something new and more behind-the-scene functions, which is always good. I'm happy to see everyone is working really well with each other and our stories are getting better each week. We all have done a great job this time around and I excited to see what next week has in store for us :) See you guys next week.
