We wanted to come as close as possible to what you might see on ESPN. Tell us how we did :)

Kit and Noah take on the role of sportscasters, giving you live commentary and exclusive coverage of the 4 person 3x3 finals at the Indiana 2014 Rubik's Cube competition.

Special thanks to Mike Hughey for letting us make this video at his competition!

Looking at the video, I look so awkward and flail-y :p (I'm the one judging for Kennan)

In any case, you and Kit did a great job with this. Hopefully this will be a trend at competitions with high profile finals, like this one and (maybe, though iirc they didn't do it this year at Nationals because of issues when they did it at Worlds) National/Continental/World championships. Very nice video.

"Oh man this is going to be cringey"

I came in expecting it to be bad but it was awesome! If you do it again you should tell the competitors to not cube whilst getting interviewed though, pretty annoying. Great job Noah/Kit.

With some effects thrown in to make it even more like ESPN.


Just something I threw together, so there are a few errors here and there. Also, the actual effects (including images) could be better, but I didn't have a whole lot of time to waste on this. The goal was to just show the potential of this type of video.

Color key for the bar on the far right:
Blue: mean
Yellow: mean - standard deviation
Orange: mean + standard deviation
Green (number displayed on bar): estimated average (assumes rest of solves are the same as mean)
White: lower bound (fastest possible average)
Red: upper bound (slowest possible average)

This is downright awesome.
