Except its not really a music video is it? It’s more like a visual for a live set. Why doesn’t anything happen? The three stills on your soon to be website are interesting the central one being quite cute and tantalizing, so why is this so boring?
         
You can watch the cute and tantalizing music video there by the way:

It's a music video. It's fine. Leave 'em alone.

Geniuses should not be asked to save the world.
         
Yeah, see that was lovely.
I don’t want to look like a grouch I thought the banditos one had potential but it just didn’t go anywhere. Couldn’t we have had a little more variety? a few more keyframes a character or two jumping into frame perhaps even a cut?. If it went for 30 seconds I could understand but nearly four minutes of panning between two linear keyframes of a digital photo mosaic with cute but lets face it largely unrelated or explained drawings overlaid does not really make a watchable, broadcastable music video.
Btw I think the illustration and general design is more than ok I am just not feelin it.
         
and your the boss
         
I'm sorry for calling you a mess. This is what happens when you get used to emotional abuse.
         
No thats ok it needs to be said sometimes I try not to be too much of a hater. Really Im not a hater at all I think it just gets lost in the translation most of the time...working on it.
