I really liked this peice and I think it is some of your best work. You made very good use of camera movement and transitions to make the video "flow" with the music. Camera work is...

It's up to you where you hook up your audio. But if it was me, I would make sure the audio stays with the video for less chance of drift. In other words, if you are watching video playback on your...
