Mike Humphries-"It's Football, Sir" is a tour de force of shots and sound from a Naval Academy football game. The editor kept a great pace throughout the story by using interviews and natural sound from fans before, during and after the game. Shot variety and selection was top-notch, with every piece of video and sound helping to further the story. An outstanding piece of storytelling.
A story about a young football player with autism, "A More Special Player" maintained a compelling pace to show how the boy, his coach, fellow players and his parents deal with his "special needs" and special personality. The editing maturity displayed in the piece was first rate, with plenty of natural sound and moments. The editing was invisible, not drawing attention to itself and, instead, letting the story play out elegantly. A well-done job.
"Baseball Begging" introduces us to a married couple who are huge baseball fans and who happen to be visually impaired. It, too, captures great sound and moments as the couple tries to retrieve baseballs during their team's pre-game batting practice. The pacing kept the story interesting and the great storytelling choices made by this editor are evident throughout.
The two honorable mention stories, "Michael Annett: On the Fast Track" and "Murderball," also used effective editing techniques. Both editors used picture-in-picture at times to show interviews while action was taking place in the background. These stories each used natural sound and shot variety to establish good pacing. Solid efforts on the part of both of these editors.
This category had several strong entries. Lots of good work was on display. However, some editors in this category should keep in mind that many times overuse of effects and natural sound can dilute the impact or even the basic message of a story. Some pieces were marred by choppy natural sound that broke up reporter audio and sound bites to the point that it was difficult to keep track of just what the story was supposed to be about. Always keep the viewer in mind and don't let the editing get in the way of the story.
