It was a two man operation. I used the zFinder and zacuto tactical shooter which helped a lot. I'm pretty new to lighting so any feedback in that area would be great. Since shooting @ 60fps I realized I needed more light. I had to bump the ISO up to 1250.

You should ask these guys for lighting tips http://vimeo.com/7933247 if you haven't already. Though theirs is better technically speaking, just for my taste I like the spirit, atmosphere, and music of yours a lot more. Musically and video-wise, theirs has this over produced quality where authentic life gets crushed under it's choreography, as precise and impressive as it is, though it could just be the too clean/preppy house-costume-crappy music, or maybe I resent that the single take flaunts more like a gimmick since it feels it's falsifying interest in an otherwise very uninteresting song and video scenario. ...Just my opinion of course.

Sure yours has it share of cliches' and is technically 'meh' and the leading lady is a bit of a butter face tho with an absurdly perfect ass, the song definitely adds to the atmosphere in a more organic way and feels like it genuinely wants to have a good time and isn't out to flex it's muscles in front of the high school chicks at the party then call them skanks when they laugh at it's lame ass white guy dreads then write a crappy song about it and make a gimmicky video where the high school chicks really love it's bleached dreads but it's too cool and rejects them.

How'd you do the pillow fight? And was it a pain to clean that up?

cool video man. i agree, needs a little production value bump. Some lighting could do the trick. But damn that girl has an amazing behind....
 
Very nice video, cool concept, good composition for the most part, and the camera work while not 100% perfect was pretty good especially for walking throuhg a crowd like you did.

This would have been EPIC with some much better lighting. I mean thats really the only hting your missing and it showed A LOT. Im a n00b to this to, and its really frustrating at times.

I disagree with the poster above, and say that your lead actress is very unique and exotic looking, and she helps keep the viewers attention throughout. Also plenty of other fun stuff going on.
