My main note on this is the music. It feels very loud and distracting, and doesn't feel like it fits the overall mood of the piece. Graphics are smooth, and definitely got my attention, but the music felt out of step.
Hope that helps.
Great feedback! Thanks!
EDIT: I'm sad to say because I like the energy in that song but I think I whole-heartedly agree. Not that I didn't before, but the more I listen back the more I hear what you're saying. I think the music is dominating the reel too much. Also because it's a well-known song, so the reel sort of becomes a music video. I've started searching for stock music that is a bit more out-of-the-way. Still upbeat, but no vocals and doesn't take over the edit. Sometimes, after staring at an edit 5,000 times, it can be hard to make objective decisions and I need outside feedback to give me a nudge.
Thanks again for your feedback, that's exactly the kind that I'm looking for. Better to hear that kind of stuff now than for an agency art director to think it, shut it off and never call me back. Also, I've been cautioned against using copyrighted music for my reel, so I've always been on the fence about using one.
Interesting! And thanks for the kind words.
I do have other vfx shots (more than just screen replacements) but was trying to keep all vfx somewhat related to mograph (which is my calling card). I may try putting them in and see how they fair.
Great feedback guys, all being taken into consideration.
