    • I really liked a lot about this pod.

      The way you cut it together -- the cuts felt like they moved with the music. This made the piece move really well and gave it a really nice party flow to it. I would have liked to have seen more slow cuts of the Carnival -- but it seemed to somehow work.

      You had some really good information in the piece: the number of people who attend and you unpacked the Samba schools and the carnival Queen -- two things I had no idea about.

      You mentioned at the head of the piece that Rio is really dangerous -- I would have liked to have heard some stats about that, which could have played up the conflict: huge party in on of the worlds most unsafe places.

      Also, I would have liked to have seen a bit more either about the characters you brought in in the beginning (your friends) or other characters so that I would have felt more connected to the story.

      Nonetheless -- your quick-cut style did work. Nice job.
