This video follows a narrative with the use of "claymation" with intercutting real-life footage, which is a feature that I like. There are 'beginning', 'middle' and 'end' real-life shots that would initially lead us to believe the entire video is another narrative - but by cutting into clay-animation it immediately gives the video something slightly unique. I also like the fact that the claymation has lyrical relevance (e.g. "a girl by the cigarette machine" - 1.44) as it gives purpose for the claymation to be there other than just for effect. The 'shaky' camera work is actually effective and conventional for stopmotion which is another positive of the video.
Slight complaints can be made in some lack of continuity shown in lighting and prop positioning (0.50) as well as clear sight of a wire at (0.43). Other than these slight errors the video is well shot and is unique conceptually - which is something that we hope to emulate in our own work.
