Dennis,

I found the clip was a little too slow, mostly because of the temp of the music paired with the lack of events within the footage. Photosessions are often harder to get substance out of, so I think they require a quicker shots and more playing around in post-production. I think much of the footage was good, but some shots would start to zoom just before you cut to another shot, I would trim those back so you don't see the zoom. I also think some of the cuts and transitions didn't seem to match with the music, so I would suggest trying a couple cross dissolves in certain parts and possibly trying to make it mesh with the song a little more. I really liked your shot of the car arriving in black and white in which you faded it to color.

Hope that helps.

Over all pretty good. The long shot of the car just sitting there needs to hit the cutting room floor. It did seem like a couple of shots were on a little too long. The ending needs to be stronger if you have the footage.
