Very nitpicky, but as a musician I have a huge pet-peeve when music videos clearly show the people not playing the right notes or rhythms on their instruments, and I didn't see that here thankfully! Wonderful job. I love that the video also captures the feeling of "butterflies" in a creative manner. Excellent work!
- 2/21 9:00 am - This music video is a delightful blend of creativity and fun, showcasing professional-looking production and clean editing. One aspect that immediately stood out to me was the adept use of color, lighting, and effects, which added depth and vibrancy to the visuals, elevating the overall viewing experience. The seamless lip-syncing of the lyrics was another commendable feature, demonstrating meticulous attention to detail in the production process. It contributed to the polished and professional feel of the video, further enhancing its appeal. I wholeheartedly commend the creators for their evident talent, creativity, and dedication in bringing this project to life. It's clear that a lot of thought and effort went into every aspect of the video, resulting in a captivating and engaging piece of work. I eagerly anticipate seeing more from these creators in the future and encourage them to keep up the outstanding work. Their commitment to excellence shines through, and I have no doubt that they will continue to produce exceptional content that delights audiences.
Judge 1
Positives: Well-Framed Movements: The camera movement at 1:32 is highlighted as exceptionally well-framed, contributing positively to the visual storytelling. Such movements, where the framing and timing are carefully considered, significantly enhance the viewer's experience. Would have liked to see this shot a bit more throughout. Quality of Lighting: The lighting in the video, including the use of neon lights and natural daylight, looks really nice. The clarity of the artist is maintained throughout the scene which brings this up a lot.
Improvements: Inclusion of story b-roll: Incorporating b-roll, such as simple scenes of walking in a grass field, could significantly enhance the storytelling aspect of the video. This additional footage would not only fill narrative gaps but also add depth to the visual story, making it feel more complete and engaging. Purposeful Camera Movement: There were moments where the camera seemed to be moving without a discernible reason, which can distract viewers and detract from the overall impact of the scene.

Positives: Really terrific camera work, very professional moves. Great job directing your performer, good lip synch and very authentic performance.
Improvements: I would have a loved a B-roll story. While the A-roll performance held my interest throughout, it got a little repetitive by the end. B-roll might have helped this.
Judge 3
Positives: Solid recordings. The use of color is terrific in terms of place.
Improvements: Drums can be punchier and less tinny. Some of the cuts seem random. The editing rhythm can be more defined and consistent.
