Review my band's video

I'd slow down the camera movement on the video. The song did kinda reach me but I have a personal liking to chord changes and after 1:30 and the bass was still holding the same note sorry I'm bored with it.
I liked the song with it's hint of Zep. I thought it too long by about half though, I don't think it changes enough to pull off six minutes.
The video, however, made me naucious. The imagery didn't fit the music either. To me, videos of musicians on stage rarely work (unless you have a stage production and are an established name.) I'd rather see some creativity in an attempt to have relevant imagery to the songs subject; even if it ultimately fails.
That said, good job on the song and on taking action and making the video. The fastest way to succeed in anything, is to fail a few times first.
You learn so much in the process.

Pretty good tune. I like it. However the video is another matter. The way it is filmed needs some sort of contrast. Close ups that are in normal time maybe. Some normal shots that don't make the video seem like the director/producer just got this really new toy and learned how to use it. (Not amature, but overused). Good tune though
The tune is REALLY cool. I dug the groove and the vibe.
So the video is a mixed bag really. I like the idea of the stop motion, chopped up pictures. BUT, there was too much movement for me. It didn't flow with the tempo of the music, it was too fast and had too much movement. I liked how it was a mixture of color and B&W. My suggestion would be to calm down the movement, keep the frame more steady. Lower the FPS, but keep the same effect. I really liked how at certain times it would punctuate a downbeat by lingering on a certain frame for a couple seconds. I would incorporate it a few more times.

Cool song. Reminds me of some older Black Keys, but with more bass, which is a good thing. I thought the video was a bit much, though it's not as bad as some are making it out to be here, but it would be better if the video was a little more connected with the music.
I feel like part of an echo here; Loved the song>the video is hard to watch. I would like to hear more of your music.
