I watched it a few times, and can't quite make up my mind as to what I think. On one hand it's visually outstanding- the editing, lighting, timing, etc... all honed to absolute perfection. Very VERY well done. On the other hand it kinda comes across as a very odd pairing of ultra-softcore porn and Queer Eye: the musical. Just goes to show that when you've got someone as talented as Matt at the helm, even actual crap thrown on a wall will not only stick but look artistic and picturesque.
Not to say the video is crap, that was just an illustration. Still- Matt, go to extra efforts next time to find find a better song and/or subject matter. Uninvited was brilliant, as were Bring Me To Life and Wings. They actually seemed to mean something, and had an incredible sense of atmosphere that just took people's breath away. While this one's entertaining and extremely well shot and edited, it's not in the same league as your previous ones.
Then again I haven't seen the whole thing so maybe I'm just making an ass of myself.
You are probably going to be flamed, but I understand and actually agree with you. But since it's not the whole video, and considering the song and artist, I was not ready to blame it on Matt (not that you are!), so I just didn't go there. Shitty as it is in concept, it's still one of the best works posted here for the technical/filmaking aspect, so it is still worth the kudos.
