- 4/29 12:46 pm - Clear story and clever use of both performance and narrative footage. Just the the music and lip-syncing could both use tightening up throughout.
- 3/3 9:44 am - Could not view video

Positives: The intro gives the video a better understanding of whats to come, very clear. All throughout the video there was some shots that are matching the lyrics of the video which is great attention to detail and often gets looked over in the professional world. The inside the refrigerator shot was cool.
Improvements: Video is slightly dark, I think the lighting could be improved on.

Positives: Really solid cinematography. Great shot selection and composition. Really enjoyed the shot of the fridge doors opening at 2:17 I always appreciate original music! Great to hear people getting together and playing their own stuff.
Improvements: He hits the distortion pedal... but there was no distortion. Seemed like an intentional shot but it really hurt the flow of things right off the bat. The opening shot doesn't have any audio. When a shot doesn't have sound, it's important to at least get some quiet room tone and play that underneath so it sounds like... something. When it doesn't sound like anything, even for three seconds, it's distracting. But all in all, great job!

Positives: Lots of creative shots in here, but on the whole great job just curating a plain fun vibe! Good variety of shots as well; especially cool was the fridge opening at 2.18 (nicely framed). The editing was another strong suit of this piece - nice work stitching it all together in a purposeful way.
Improvements: The biggest thing working against this piece is the sound mix of the song. I'm not sure to what extent this is fixable in the mix or if it's an issue with how the instruments were recorded, but things just overall sound a bit strange, with all except the vocals sounding super distant whereas the vocals sound super close. It's a catchy song so I wish the presentation was stronger!
