 Feedback: There are some great elements here – a good narrative, performance elements, nice visual effects. The overall video feels like it fits the song really well which is such an important aspect. The brand identity and shoe sponsorship elements are huge strengths – I really like the way you’ve integrated into the narrative. I love the video effect on the friendship narrative element but do you have enough footage for those sections? It feels like some of the locations outstay their welcome a little – is that an area you could add to for the final cut? You may also want to consider additional effects on those sections to really ramp up the nostalgic feel. Improvements:  Changing the ending: with more editing  Adding another perform ance  at the first location  Adding more locations and cutting the other scene to make the video more fast paced
