I'm just breathless, Gwyneth. How wonderful it is! I love the way you wove the fast-car-splody-action with the contextual storytelling bits -- not knowing the film, I couldn't follow the story very closely, but I appreciated what you were doing with the vid's structure, giving emotional wait to all the pretty-shiny-fast stuff.
That motion blur effect as the cars take off -- that was you, right? (:
The thing I liked best was the way you used color. I love how the first verse is all acid green and feisty, like that green car, and it's green green green until the bridge, and then things get emotionally dark and the color changes to red. Blood, damage. And then in the final section, it's both red and green, alternating in some places. I thought it might have also been your intention to associate each color with a character, one being green and the other red, but I wasn't 100% sure on that. Even if not, it's a fantastic device, because it makes me really pay attention to the song and the way you're using its tonal shifts.
Shiny!

Really cool stuff. I'm so glad you got it posted!
