i thought it was really sick. only 2 things
when the shots jumped back and forth they didn't really seem to change on a particular beat(may just be me)
and the shot of the airport could have been shorter, that was one of the less interesting shots, could have used one of the water.
thats my 2 cents

i wasn't trying to do a fake TS effect, i was trying to get rid of the reflections and it worked for most of the shots

Ill try and avoid myself next time, thanks though. I made the intro in after effects cs5 with the help from a website called video copilot, really good place to learn some impressive effects. +K

Well some of the shots were taken from inside a building and since it was quite tall these windows were sealed shut, so i had to place the camera behind the glass and because of the curved lens, it didn't sit quite right which lead to some reflections occuring

Next time, stick the camera in a cardboard box and place it right against the window. Works really well, usually for eliminating glare due to very limited backlight reflection. you might also want to black out parts on the camera that are highly reflective. black masking tape usually works well for this.

a tilt shift effect on a couple of those shots (airport particularly) would have been awesome

i love the tilt shift effect

I really liked it. The only thing I'll add is that the pan at 00:43 jumped a little, but it's not that big of a deal.
