Great vid, it's really nice to see an Ana-Lucia character study! I really like your audio choices, especially Ana at the beginning and then saying "I am what I am" at the end. Really great way to end! I wouldn't have used that texture as I found it distracting and it just seemed out of place there but other than that I really enjoyed this! Awesome job!

Hey there! Checking out a couple of your videos as they strike my fancy. I'd never heard the song before (Taylor Swift's not my thing), so was coming to it cold. The song worked, though. It didn't feel jarring or immature--since all I know about Swift is that she's a young country-pop singer.

If by texture, Jemmz means the red line that snakes through the screen, I agree with her there. I get that it was supposed to be the outline of her eyelid, but it made some of the scenes a bit distracted, as I was focused on that when I was supposed to be focused on the action.

I'm not a fan of speech in videos, but it worked here; I think it worked because Michelle Rodriguez has a husky voice and it was the same general pitch as the bassline, so it gelled together well.

Well done! Off to look at the Richard video now, since these were the two that caught my eye first.
