Nice!

You did some really cool things I liked and a couple I didn't.

+
Cool way to have the artist smack the camera which pushes the screen to another view
The fast sequence of the day before the song actually started
Nice and clean, really shot well
Perfect balance and super smooth camera movements
Overall very nice video

-
I feel that the introduction should have been better, maybe have some music from the beginning playing in the background real low
When the artist comes out of his house, you can tell the slow mo was done with software, should have shot at 60fps and then conform it for smoother look
Some of the facial expressions on the artists face should have not been used. It looks quite comical for him to speak on Jesus and then do funny faces
Background sky on a lot of scenes are clearly overexposed
When the song finishes you should have faded out as I can hear it just cuts causing a nasty pop



Overall though this was a very good project, that I feel could have been close to perfection with the things mentioned. Regardless though you have presented the world with something that in my opinion would want me to see more from you. Keep up the good work!
 
thanks for the critque Life4eva. Really appreciate your time. I have more stuff on my vimeo page.

On the contrary all the slow mo was 60p and conformed to 24p in Premiere. Why did you think it was software? I've never used software for slo mo though i've always wanted to try it out.
The sky...i'm not 2 sure I could have done much about that. Maybe a grad filter? Or expose a bit more for the sky...but with just reflectors on hand it may not have done the job bringing up the faces. What would you suggest?
i'll listen to the end of the song again....as i could have sworn i faded it out. thanks for the heads up dude.

thanks again for the look.

It was a really fun shoot...as being all handheld it was really liberating.


edit: Life4eva...i think i see why you think the slo mo was software...that shot is actually jump cut to the beat. I wanted his feat to hit the ground on each "beat". So parts of the shot are cut out. If you see the other slow mo walking shot at the end (3.02)....thats a normal shot, meaning i didnt jump cut it or anything.

My mistake and you are correct! Skies are so difficult to nail, I have been using a Magic Bullet Looks Gradient filter though that helps and is very cool. Regardless those were nitpicks and No matter what you delivered an excellent project, I would like to see you shoot some more Music Videos.
 
artist is dope.... video is good... you got a personal relationship with the artist? I am an a&r at e1 entertainment (Koch Records)
