overall concept = 8
- it def has a rise in action. i like how the characters start to pop up all over the place but i think it could be a bit more focused though. maybe there are multiple players at the same time that are interacting with eachother. like if you took three players from the same picture and rendered them in that style it could be interesting.

visual form/narrative quality = 7.5
- i would be careful with this background. although it looks nice i have to question its relevence to soccer. also it wouldn't be bad to change the background once or twice so that the whole thing isn't on one stage. i like when it splits up and you introduce a crowd, it really brings more emphasis to what your show is about. i would also be carefull with the two different styles of players you made. the ones at the end seem really out of place compared to everything else which has a more graphic feel.

duration = 9
- the pace of the project is actually my favorite thing. it gradually picks up speed and stays fast and energetic. this is also enhanced by the song. all the information about the show is legible and well spaced. the speed of it helps emphasize that it is about soccer. (fast paced)

motion = 8
- some of the motion in here is really nice. the part where the opening type drops in then followed by a goal landing in the middle adds a nice effect. after a while though the motions of the stage and characters is a bit repetitive and starts to feel stale.

transition = 7.5
- your transition when the stage splits is nice, i think you just need to apply it to other places. its working there because it flatens part of the picture turning it into a representation of a soccer field and it simultaniously throws the soccer fans in the mix at the same time. one of the best moments, maybe try it in a couple more places.

the image/text/music combo works pretty well. the music works because it is closely related to soccer and is recognized by that demograph. images are working, but you need to know there limitations as far as how much you scale them up and how much movement you give them. text works nice at the beginning but is a little stale at the end.

it doesn't seem to be trying to break boundaries as far as how a sports show is presented. everything is put there to reflect the intensity of the sport and seems appropriate.
