Toxic love

Pretty dope! The low angle under the tower was probably my favorite shot. Whichever Magic Bullet preset you used was definitely working for you as far as the overall look of the video goes, although it could have been tweaked and toned down a bit so it didn't look so...right out-of-the-box. So "stock look" you know?

I do have to take issue with the effects. I feel like you went waaaaay overboard on something that didn't need it. The region shift blurs and things of that nature were cool, but the dazzle filter was total cheese. It's pretty rare that I find it doesn't come out that way. The badTV effects kind of worked in some spots, others not so much. The weird 3d glasses offset effect was distracting.

One thing I found myself wanting was more eyelight. The ringlight on the shades was dope, but I wish you'd kept that on him for when he took the shades off, or didn't color time out the eyelight so much.

The overall look sort of created a toxic, radioactive feeling, so it sort of came together. I guess what I'm trying to say is definitely a good job overall, but learn some restraint! You don't gotta try out every vibe and look and filter in one video, there will be others!

Looking at this and your other work though (I kind of like The Recap better than this Toxic Love joint), I see things that I'll probably be stealing at some point (I'm sorry, "look sampling"), different shots and cuts, so keep doing your thing.
