Really cool work again. Through the cans I found the toms to be too loud and sorry to say it I wanted them to go away. Don't know if it's like this from the monitors. I also agree that the piano melody should be more up front. Other than that I thought this is a top production. Musically interesting and the vid is cool as well.

Thanks Gus! Yea the toms are definitely really fat sounding, but I was kinda going for that on purpose, almost a hiphop kind of thing. I might have to consider bringing the piano up though for the final album version since you're like the 5th person to mention that. Thanks again!

Man, everything you touch turns to gold!!  Great video and sound track.  For just stock footage the video is very impressive, and your music, as always, is very compelling.

Wow thanks! So glad you liked it. Yea I feel like I really did what I could with stock stuff. Luckily the next video will be a collaboration with some filmmakers so I can give myself some time to maybe come up with some way to do something at least on this level next time I do it myself again haha. :-)

Nice work on editing the video together!   Well done.
 
But personally, I actually liked the music/mix better.  As mentioned above there's not necessarily any real standard song structure, but I think it still worked.   Mix sounds clear and punchy here, great for the style.

I enjoyed the tune and the video was a pleasant distraction, consequently I went back for a second listen without watching the video personally I found it worked better with the video, but that is just my furry subjective view.
 
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks guys! Yea the track is the most important part, so I'm glad people are digging it. But It really does go well with the video. I wish I had the resources and time to make videos for every track on the upcoming album :-) Should have at least 4 videos though by the time I move on to album 3 (jumping ahead of myself here haha). The next 3 will be made by other people though.

I had a listen and was impressed as usual.  Very cinematic, and you do the style well.  The video was excellent considering your lack of budget and expertise.  Great job!

Great job on this David. I know it can be a challenge to find free high quality video..I just completed a film trailer using free video and it took some time even to find simple things I liked that were free or royalty free.
I seem to be hearing just a small amount more volume in my right monitor. Maybe it's my setup here...not sure.
 
I think both music and video are good....the music seems faster, and the video seems to be moving slower, even though the frames are likely synced to music changes. IOW if she were moving a bit faster instead of in slow motion it might add more dynamics to the whole....just a thought.

Thanks everyone.
 
Starise, yea I ended up buying a few of the clips you see here, just to further flesh out my vision for what this thing should look like. I couldn't quite make it work with ALL free stuff haha. My last two public domain based videos were all free stuff. I actually played around with speeding her up and slowing her down in places, but that actually made it feel all off and weird... I felt that it worked better keeping the video all slow motion based. At the risk of sounding too artsy or anything, it was kinda meant to juxtapose those crazy hihats and snares with slow motion video to create a cool effect... But thanks for your comments and feedback! I'm glad you liked it. Not sure about the lower volume in one monitor... That might be on your end because I haven't heard that from anyone else and I'm pretty sure it should be level...
