Solar Decathlon '07

This is what I like to see! A great pod about solar energy. Great work and well put together. I would like to see more pods about how we can all incorporate solar energy.

It was very interesting but the whole time I was trying to see the technology and cool houses, the students were blocking my view. Good job though, no doubt.

brilliant pod, could of been maninstream stuff!

(i want one of those homes, but bean in the UK i think it would have to be wind, not solar)

Amazing coverage of an event that should be televised across the US. At some points in the pod I did feel as if I was watching reality television. I think there was a little to much emphasis on the competition and not the alternative technology. Everyone that participated at the Solar Decathlon deserves a trophy for showing people alternative lifestyle solutions they can integrate into their homes.

Excellent work here Rachael!

Very thorough and informative but with an entertaining flair. And you're a natural on camera.

Great story about people working on something that's going to be very important to all of us in the future. Well done, interesting, drama-filled piece. My only complaint: not enough Rachael!

Hey I thought the content of the story was intriguing and well delivered. Nice job Rachael !! Look forward to seeing your next piece.

A great pod that is filled with drama and yet educational. Through Rachel's compelling narration, I was rooting for the "underdog" Penn State. I have never heard of the Solar Decathlon and I think it would have been great if there was a little more background information on the competition. Also, some scenes didn't require music since it takes the suspense away. Still, I greatly enjoy the pod and looking forward to know more about Solar Decathlon.

I loved it! The story was really captivating. I liked the interviews and the sequence of shots. great job!! let's see more..

Excellent work. Solid editing, good choice of music, storyline holds interest. I'm going to look for more pods from you.

As a friend of the MIT team I'm aware that the competition started 2 years prior to the finals in DC. I'm sure you had to edit some content out to keep the piece short, but that's one part that I thought was very noteworthy, and I don't think you mentioned it.

Way to go Penn State! You guy's did awesome, and thank you Rachael for such an awesome coverage of this event! Peace to you all, and I am definitely pulling for you guys next time! WhoooHooo!

Rach,

This looks awesome. Thanks again for following us. It was calming having you both there, encouraging and cheering! Watch out for the 2009 Team, Penn State's in again with their home, Natural Fusion.

Cheers,

That chick Rachael is radical, man! Smart, good-looking and not a bad writer either - we want more!

Great job Rachael!!! Very informative and it has that competitive edge to it!!!

The detail is unbelievable! You covered everything that was relevant to the story, and produced a professional quality video that no main-stream journalist could out do! I think I'm going to build me a solar home!

this was really really well done. Very cool subject matter and most off all very very engaging - thanks!
