They were not boring and they went well with the accompanying audio. I also agree that I would have liked to have seen more close ups of faces; maybe a couple of the students' faces really sweating it out would have been cool. Overall I liked the project though.

It wasn't a story at all. Part of the problem is I didn't answer enough of those questions that explain why she does it, etc. The other part of the problem was the fact that I edited out a lot of things that would have exemplified tht perspective. I filled the 90 seconds with background factuals instead, which is relatively useless. I also agree ending was abrupt. Again, it was a timing thing. I had edited everything down except the end, and then crap! I had to end it quickly. She did, in fact, have more to say about how group fitness was motivating factor in people's lives. That would have been a better ending. I also want more close-ups. That's one thing I'm definitely working on. But you're spot-on. They were tough to get, and I think I just got intimidated.
