Okay, here is my second music video ever. I would love to get some feedback on it since it was a very difficult shoot for me due to money / crew / time constraints. For example, I had to edit it and color "correct" it (if you can call it that) out in the field on my 5-year-old 688 Mhz first-generation G4 laptop (in HD of course, which the laptop could barely handle).

A FEW DETAILS
So anyway, this was a no-budget production shot over two days with the HVX200. I was the producer, director, DP, writer, editor, etc , as well as in charge of locations and casting (which included me having to go to local clubs on a wednesday night and pulling aside any potential pretty girls to be considered for the main part as well as for all bit parts and extras) ...oh, and I had only three people as crew on the actual shoot... which I had to train myself to the best of my abilities since in that part of Mexico there aren't any crew members available. All three did an excellent job.
The music is obviously not mine. It is a Grupero band from Mexico that wanted a video with some sort of story dealing with an impossible love. So please judge the music separately from the visuals. As far as the visuals I was allowed to do anything I wanted as long as it was a story. The only requirement was that I could NOT show or single out in any way the singer from the band. The stress stemmed mostly because I had to come up with and be in charge of almost everything, while away in a strange city. This included me having to secure locations in bars and restaurants with very picky owners during their regular business hours (without, of course, paying them anything). Anyway, enough ramblings... just let me know what you think and what I can improve on. Your feedback will be very much appreciated.
