What you guys think about my first music video I shot and edited together?
Used a simple Sony point-and-shoot camera; and After Effects to edit.
If you don't like rap, or white rappers, don't hate; just asking about the overall production of the video.
Thanks!

you wanna edit in final cut or even imovie, much quicker and easier.. nice edit, but a bit slow

i'm just trying to be constructive, but you need to upgrade the clothes you're wearing in the video, they're kinda lame. Also it looks like you can talk all bad and shit when no one is around, when you're all alone in the desert. You need to get some peeps in there.
- u just said NOTHING constructive. that is NOT me in the video .. how can i shoot and star in a video at the same time? dumbass.datnatikid
- ask woody allen genius. but if you're gonna shoot, how about controlling the variables in the movie?jetSkii

location location location.
you have a good eye and style though, edit pacing works and good ideas for shots etc. Was a touch slow sometimes as noted above. Don't use AE for editing.

- ah nvm, didn't consider how it'd be faster in fcp or imovie or whatevermcmillions

Damn, those kids are hard, holding down corners out in the middle of fucking nowhere. Way to represent. Who's idea was it to shoot in the middle of the desert around rocks and weeds? What are you trying to say about these guys?

"If you don't like rap, or white rappers, don't hate"
If you do, Hater Blockaz will come after you.

here's a great example of shooting semi-private locations to tie it together and represent crew; keep it interesting.

This is NOT me ... I am shooting the video (behind the camera), the rapper is someone else.

The camera work is not bad, the attitude is a bit there... The location could be interesting later in the day, like just before dusk, where there is some mystery in the shadows, where you could imagine something lurking, and you could use some more dramatic light.... I did like the sideways camera movement.... I do feel need for a few variations, some slight subplot, maybe extreme closups, something to mix up the edit a bit.... but there's some nice beginnings here..
- yeah. we were a bit limited to location and timing. but thanks for the feedback.datnatikid

i liked the slow-mo pans, they seemed like something i'd see in a pro video.
But the variation of shots was too little and got old after a while. Even if you had more shots of him behind (or in) his "spaceship", that could have improved it a bit
