Great use of the sim. A bit lower in technical execution than some of the other entries. Strong submission overall.
The energy stayed consistent throughout, and I found myself enjoying the overall vibe and presentation.
The effects and edits hit perfectly with every beat.
I didn't just watch this music video, I felt it. Very well done.
This was a fun watch. The transitions and effects helped it feel like a genuine music video.
