I can see your really using the movement of the camera to your advantage, but make sure when you edit, you also follow that same movement (some parts you did that but at times, it was jumpy.). Experiment & Play around with brightness & contrast alongside with the music.

But Overall,

Good work man. :)

A motion shot should always cut into another motion shot. Only time you'll transition to a still shot is if the previous shot stops at the end before you cut. And speaking of cuts, if you use fast paced music, your edits should also be faster to match the beat. Oh, also, rule of thirds is your friend. You've got some good ideas for your shots; they just need to be fine tuned a bit.

Don't take this criticism too hard. I liked it and I can see potential for future videos.

Oh, gotta add in some props to the OP, mb. Most people won't click go on Youtube to read the description, I think lol.

Gotta thank Santofu for using his car for chase shots, and to entrax for helping direct and edit. :D

Quickly slapped a slightly edited, condensed version together as an example. I know I made one transition incorrectly, but I'm tired. And ignore the film flare bit. The song I used had too long of a pacing between beats to cut it together properly :p

example - YouTube

For the record, I'm not trying to upstage you at all here, mb_. I just wanted to show you what was meant by syncing transitions and what introducing a bit of different colouring into a video can produce.

Jaw dropping. Never thought my car could look so cool LOL. The syncing and transitions are just amazing.

Damn that's awesome! Not only the edit but the fact that you took your time to make suggestions for potential future projects :fullofwin: Thanks Lomac! :)
