Hello fellow Canadian!
I watched your video and I have some comments/feedback.
I like the song a lot, it's pretty good, and that helps as a starting point obviously.
I found the shot you held from 1:22 to 1:33 way to long... In music video time 10 seconds of the same thing is just too long. It could be different if you're holding something dramatic, but with the shot out of focus for that long it leaves the eyes wandering and looking for something else. Interest gets lost with long clips like that.
I like the camera work overall and think it fits the song/music. There doesn't seem to see any lighting used, which is fine, but using lighting can be a great way to get a more stylized look and with the sensitivity of your camera and lens you wouldn't need a lot for the indoor or night scenes to just punch it up a bit. Same with grading, I didn't see any, but this could have been another great way to get some "style" going... maybe some rich color saturation for the bike riding scene ... and no saturation and crushed blacks for the indoor stuff, but for that you really need to use lighting.
Hey just my thoughts anyway, there is no right or wrong
