glad to hear you say that, Floyd! I think Tommy's songs are awesome, but the view counter doesn't indicate that he's getting the attention these songs deserve

Pat - you have out-done yourself! Your attention to detail is a delight.
The crowd grooving on the music...
The "drunk walk" in front of the station...
"drunk weaving" at the table...
the camera movements and pans...
the clock movement...
the ending banjo notes are timed perfectly with the video (vice versa, really)...

The ending is classic! Laugh Out Loud funny!!!

Home Run, y'all!

I really appreciate the fact that you notice details like that... any detail in an animation was put there on purpose, and sometimes the details only appear in passing as the camera moves thru a scene. All the characters grooving to the music took a lot of time, but its so peripheral its easy to miss.

I guess its true that if its seamless enough that most people don't notice, that means I did my job!.

One of the problems with music videos is that the lyrics tend to repeat, and there is a tendency to reuse the same animation for each chorus. (boring)... One advantage of 3D animation is that the same scene can be used, but viewed from a new camera angle, which makes it seem new.

Thanks again for posting your valuable observations... you have a keen eye to go along with your keen ear!
