it looked pretty sick but i didnt really like the song choice you should pick something that you can sync the movie too better. along with that you should try to get some different angles. other then that though it was pretty good.

nice edit, try to switch up the transitions, the white flash got really boring, and this one is my opinion but the change the footage to whatever like making it black and white for a split second, i didnt prefer that but nice edit and like the first poster said try to pick a song that goes well or try to time your clips with the beats that are in the song

all very good suggestions, thank you. I'll be sure next time to play with my transitions a little more and make it more varied. As for the syncing with the song, I thought i was all through editing, and then as i watch it more and more, i realize i was syncing it more with the words than the beats and it's a little off.

Keep it comin!
