Quote of the week

Nick picked A and said the editing felt harsh. A3 is the newest: the sound is smoothed like A2, and the picture is softer too, with fewer and longer shots, short dissolves instead of hard cuts, a slow push-in, and captions that fade in. It also keeps Nick’s “whoa,” with his note about it on screen. A2 smooths only the sound. A is the original.

Play all runs muted. Use “Listen” under one cut to hear it.

Your pick

A3Smoothed sound and picture0:39

Dissolves, fewer cuts, slow push-in, softer captions, and the “whoa” with Nick’s note on screen.

A2The full talk, smoothed0:38

Same lines as A. Room sound under the pauses, softer fades, no jump cuts on the coach.

AThe full talk0:36

Four college coaches in the gym, the quote, “don’t let a college coach give it for you,” the on switch, “let’s get after it.”

The other cuts

BHook first0:21

Opens cold on the quote, then the college coaches, then “give yourself a standard.” Light captions.

CNo on switch0:28

The easy answer versus the thoughtful answer, “not working hard enough day to day,” the on switch, “think about that today.” Red captions.

DThe short one0:15

Four college coaches, the quote, “don’t let a college coach in the gym give it for you.”
