NY Times profile on Russian combat school
This package does have some good natural sound and footage. However, the first problem with it is the long, extended quotes in Russian. For an American audience, long quotes in another language are not as useful as explanations from a narrator, mixed in with short quotes with subtitles from the subjects. Second, at times the video did not entirely match the narration. At one point, the narrator talks about sanctions on a man, but the video is him doing pushups on the barrels of his pistols. Finally, this video did not entirely explain exactly WHY the U.S. did not approve of the group's actions in Ukraine, which is a key fact.

"The Origins of Fight Like A Bronco" by ESPN
This one is a bit long, but it is very well done. The video does a great job of using music to set and guide the mood throughout. The video also uses great clips of Luke meeting players, talking with his wife, etc. The narrator gives a nice, slow story. The still photos are dispersed fittingly throughout the package. The footage is also very still, does not shake, and chronologically lays out how "Fight Like a Bronco" came about. The transitions are also smooth and natural.
