I've only watched the Bangkok video so far, but I've got mixed feelings on it. On the one hand, the idea of casting the Angels as chess pieces is fun and makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately, the execution doesn't really take full advantage of the song, because once you begin the actual fight scenes, they keep playing for pretty much the rest of the video with other elements overlaid on top of them. The song's got two different paces to it though, and I think the lip sync could have worked a lot better if you had cut to it as a full scene instead of overlaying it. As it was, the overlay made me miss some neat stuff that was going on in the background the first time I watched it. The "get my kicks above the waistline" scene is a perfect example. You chose a great clip for that line, but I couldn't even see it cause I was looking down in the corner.
I think the beginning of the video is probably the strongest part. I really liked your choices for the different venues, and the melodic portion of the song seemed to work pretty well. I guess my biggest complaint is that you didn't really make the speaking portion stand out as different from the melody.
