Thanks Ozkar. This was done about ten months ago for a regular newscast. Actually, everything besides the music was natural sound. No sound effects. I definitely see what you're saying about the guy standing there. I don't know what inspired that in me, but it really serves no purpose, or the group photo thing.
As for the actual substance of the story, I cannot speak for that. I didn't write it and I was working with a hot-shot reporter who doesn't listen to photographers. It could have been better and the long kids soundbite using the reporters question is really annoying, but again, I couldn't do anything about it.
