You will be low in my priority list.
Straightaway, Corey. Jupiviv, she has a lucid point.
The musical selection is less-than-stellar. Too heavy metal (and I grew up with (the long version of) 'The Pusher' by Steppenwolf, 'Helter Skelter' the Beatles, Black Sabbath etc) the wrong "music" makes the text difficult to follow.
Seriously, I'd have to be tripping on LSD to watch a few times.
I've never been on psychiatric drugs maybe that would do the trick but...
Instead, have the images
slowly fade in and out with the graphics all (or nearly) the same size. For instance, the frog and leaf were too small in comparison with those male Star Trek characters. The Trek dudes are so yesterday (cartoonish) to convey to kids coming along now. The writing need be cursive or straight. Mixing the different doesn't cut it with the brain. They appear too fast and a half-second one cannot digest the meaning.
That prolly means adding another minute to the music because each image appears for too short a time. Fade in image - fade image out to the next.
Too much input (brain sensory overload) dulls the senses. Too flashy.
Slow the music down but not necessarily like Pink Floyd or the Moody Blues. I don't much go in the the newer stuff because there is .. just-so-much-out-there.
When I go to the local 'Budget Tape and Records', I'll buy 20-50 used Cd's every time there. I cover many music genre plus, they are 10 Cd's for $5 bucks. The girlfriend (of 45 years) says I must have 10,000 Cd's and, at least, a thousand I haven't even peeled the cellophane off, I'd say a few more but who's counting. Prolly two of ten Cd's are worthy of listening to a second time and a couple more Cd's maybe have one catchy tune to them. The rest make for skeet shooting at the local gun club ;-/
If you understand where I am coming from, it is difficult to keep up with my music Cd binge-buying (and listening to all those) much less take the time to check out your video production assembly line.
"Never trust anyone over thirty" -- That is timeless..
PS - I liked the Valentine tune. I liked their original version where the band is the video. I'd heard of them but they are so yesterday - 1998. That's decades ago.
Just feedback, my friend ;-)
