Yeah, this has been around for a while. I still don't really know how its done. I'd guess its rich in actionscripting...

Some of the stuff seems a little tutorial-like. The 3-d stuff is good.

Excellent use of timing and edits to the music track.

I enjoy the simplicity and the personality of your reel. Chill work.

Though, not one particularly a fan of the "internet sensation" of calling it, this time I must: FAIL.

That'll do.

Any strong reaction to the music is a good reaction in my opinion.

Killer reel. I love the personality. Unfortunately, I don't know if I'll remember any of your work vs. the editing of it. But I love the intentionality of making something really simple complex (the intro), thereby making something complex simple.

Yeah, its all really good work and good length. Unfortunately, I can't remember anything about it that makes you stick in my mind.

I'd say that its about 30 seconds too long and that your work is a little redundant. Its obvious that you're a fan of trendy mograph stuff. I'd say, start developing your own voice. Stand out a little. If you stripped away everything down to the one core thing about yourself, what would you have?

It might be a bit surprising to say this, but I would suggest that you give more screen-time for your best projects. Longer shots. It all happens so fast, it seems like stuff is getting crammed in. Take your time. You've got a lot of stuff. Maybe think like R&B shot timing versus Hip Hop timing. Your work has a lot of personality, let that personality marinate a bit. Its strong, you don't have to blast it.

Yeah, I was surprised you used them. They're an interesting act. I saw them one time at a birthday party in a small rural catholic church in Lancaster, PA. Interestingly, this was after being signed with Maverick.

Let me know if you go with the Celine Dion recommendation.

Yup. Good stuff all around.
