Ok, maybe a college freshman project. If it were a high school one, you'd see more checkerboard transitions and star wipes.

Totally mystifies me that people don't like this song... it's pretty unusual for UW, I think, but terrific all the same. Love the bit when the beat kicks in on ... "TAGGED!" and the pause before the chorus, which is unexpectedly catchy but makes sense in the way that it draws together all the threads of the song....

Anyway, I'm blathering...

Somebody pitch in and tell me I'm not alone in loving this song!

Hello?

Blather away! :D

I love it too. Love the rhythm of the words on the beat. Knowing Romford a bit kind of helps I guess cos I can picture the Wheelie Bins behind the shops perfectly in my mind's eye.

Luscious. :D

in all fairness, its not a totally jackass thing to say. these days, a lot of student works have that same gritty, layered look. this video doesn't have a real concept that you can say is on par with something like Cowgirl from 10+ years ago. 10 years ago, something like that was quite difficult to do and had never really been seen before. Today, a video like that can be, albeit MUCH worse, done in an application college kids could get their hands on. it looks like a more polished student video.

its a simple little video that spells out what you are hearing... and much like the song does, i guess thats a good thing. but after watching it, I have absolutely no desire to watch it again because well, I've seen 'it' many many times before... just with different words or textures.

I do love the song though. I loved it from the first moment I heard it and gladly typed it on this forum many many times.

I noticed the same thing and immediately google mapped Romford to see if it matched, but it doesn't. I wonder what it is?

There are a TON of flashy images that are probably pictures of relevant stuff, but it's a bit hard to see because they are only there for an instant. I wish this wasn't a streaming format so it would be easier to frame step. I bet this thing is chock full of surprises.

It's completely fair. I know a guy in high school who consistently makes better content, and the standard of college video editing today is much higher than you'd expect.

This is just art-for-art's-sake, press-every-button-on-the-effects-board stuff, which is fine if you like that sort of thing. It definitely relates to their older videos. But, I'm not really intent on giving free passes to content that lacks creativity and focus just because it originates from Underworld HQ.
