• 3/4 12:35 pm - Unique treatment, editing and style. Impressive work. Captivating and interesting. Really enjoyed the sequences that flashed between video and line drawn mixed in with additional visuals. Great video.

Judge 1

Positives: I love the masks and doctors outfits in the band performances. Ambitious use of production design.

Improvements: My biggest problem with the video is that it's nearly unwatchable with your flashing intercutting. Sometimes the excessive use of vfx/animation (which in general was well done, just too much) hid shots that were soft in focus or just not that well framed.

Positives: Manic editing! It certainly wasn't dull or boring. You have a talented editing mind and you're flexing it here. The art direction was fantastic. The images you'd cut to and from said so much visually and any shot that had a doctor in it looked like a legit tv show.

Improvements: The editing was amazing... but maybe let it breathe a little more at times? The pacing followed the intensity of the song really well but with how crazy it was at the end, it still didn't seem that far off from how crazy it was from the get go. And the song might have been too long. With this editing style, less is more sometimes. I was floored by most of the video but I also found myself wondering how much longer it was at a few points. Overall though, amazing job.

Positives: Loved the look of this, especially the chorus with the filters and flicker, and scary juxtapositions.

Improvements: The flickering did get to be a bit much by the end, though I understand it's part of your aesthetic here. Might have been interesting to make more of a contrast between the verses and choruses. ie make the verses a little less frenetic visually.
