I liked it. There were only a few tweaks I had in mind. Some people may feel differently, but I felt like I should see some of the band or instruments throughout. I didn't really know where the whole scene was going, but I still enjoyed the atmosphere. I'm no expert, though, so take my words lightly I suppose.

Can creativity be consistent?

Uh it was pretty cool I guess.

But maybe you would care to give us a little more background information on this project instead of just posting the video? And, like, do you want critiques or are you just showing it off or what?

For me, it was way too frantic for the actual song (especially through the opening/before DJ Shadow comes in).

It's essentially a slow piece, and your music video didn't fit the music or the point of the song.

I think the official video for this is great so I can't really judge good

but regardless of the video well ok FRANTIC isn't good I agree but I think there's a slowly rising tension to the song which should be reflected in the video - actually looking at it again I think it's the beginning that's the biggest problem, it sounds like it's going to a song that starts out OH EEE OH EEE OOOOO and not DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNN

Sorry to bump this... I posted this and forgot about it.

I'm leaving on a trip soon, and wanted to document it through film. I was wondering now, what are the things I need to work on.

@Roman: Background information:

I did this at my school for a Studio 2 project for high school. It was a toss up between 4 PSA's or a music video. It's the only video I legitimately completely in the whole year of independent study and studio classes :P The footage was taken all off of my bicycle. I unsafely mounted the camera to a tripod, stuck a pole in it's butt, and secured it to the frame of my bike using what should of fastened a mini-bike pump instead. It worked wonderfully. I changed the angle of the shots, as I just cruised through the town on a pleasant ride.

Edited in adobe premiere pro cs3.

I choose the song because it was one of my favorites growing up. I never noticed that intersection about angels and devils, I didn't like it, so I kept the song half short - which maybe an injustice to the artist.

I showed it in a student video film show. The ending title was kind of a joke, nobody had seen what I had been working on, which was nice to surprise everyone, and then give them that title.

@ Lord Spillbury & Ragnar

The intention was that, it was slowly building - the film getting more abstracted towards the end. The beginning clouds and trees, reminded me of a storm cooking up but not the actual storm. I see more and more how much my video contrasts that though. I guess I didn't get an adequate feel for the song.
