This is quite interesting, there's a lot going on.

What it needs is cohesion. Light rays? Cardbox? Flicker? Lens flares? pick one or two elements. One does not work with the other.

Still, it's a nice video. Blacks a bit crushed (can't see Lupe Fiasco at the opening) and the images are sharp. Looks like 7D.

Nice work.

yeah i agree, it did seem like a mishmash of creative directions. i personally liked the cardboard and kids direction the best, but the superimposed litebrite background things worked well too. seemed to be a bit of lupe's superstar video mashed with some gondry-esue(not so much) vibe. but i think it works well...

Interesting. I did something pretty similar to the cardboard outerspace thing in one of my videos last year. Check it out if you have the chance: vimeo.com
