Besides these things, I actually found a lot more to enjoy about this video than complain about. The flow was excellent, forgetting for a moment the beat sync issues I mentioned above. Scene selection worked really well and not for a moment did I find the literal sync corny or poorly-implemented - this really, REALLY helped the storytelling aspect of the video, which ended up being the video's strongest point. Also, besides what I mentioned above, the effects you used were really awesome, like the videos in the picture frames, and simple things like slide transitions. Also, the editing from 1:25-1:37 is brilliant, that's probably my favorite part of the video...probably.
This is an easy 4/5, even with all the problems I had with it. Had you paid just a little more attention to beat sync and been more consistent with that throughout the video, I'd have unhesitantly given this a 5/5. This is a great, upbeat, yet slightly depressing video (how many of THOSE can you find?). I love it, and I expect it'll grow on me the more I watch it (and you can bet I'll be watching this a LOT over the next several days).
Very nice work!
