- 01 – Feathered Friends – The shock value of the first sounds certainly makes the viewer sit up and take notice. The bird calls added for each species were cleverly included, but the written name would have helped also. The inclusion of the video clip was excellent. H/C

- 02 – Weta Workshop – The variety of subject matter undertaken by Weta workshop is certainly impressive and you have surely covered a variety. Your title was somewhat lost at the beginning, because its background was a variety of titles. The WW2 series was well photographed under probably fairly difficult lighting conditions, so well done for those, providing a very sombre and thought-provoking series of images. Including images with a lot of writing on them is pointless, and at least four should have been omitted – and do watch for repeat images. Transitions are meant to be unobtrusive and while you did stick to one only, (well done), that particular one isn’t and your name in the end titles needed to be removed. All up, an interesting look at one of our iconic businesses. Accepted.

- 03 – Welcome Swallow – This AV is very well presented with lovely sharp images, almost showing each bird’s personality. A slow reader, however, may not have time to enjoy this beautiful photography, so perhaps consider a slight increase of time for each slide. Honours – Winner

- 04 – Ava and Tegan Dance Duo – The music, transitions and timing for each slide is just right and shows the girls’ love of the dance to good effect. A video clip showing their prowess would have been the icing on the cake. H/C – Runner-up
