Looks good!

How did you handle playback of the song during shooting?

Thanks!

thanks for the comments guys:)

Jack: Playback was just regular speed from various stereos/ car stereos on the set. I knew I would cut at a pretty high rate in post, so syncing wasn't really an issue during shooting.

not sure whether its web compression or things are actually out of focus. I liked the other video a lot better than this one. The problem is the beginning mostly(a whole 1.5 minutes stretch no change in scene until after), then you also have things out of focus which takes the glamor away that this was actually shot with the JVC, ...then again I could be wrong, it's late and my eyes are weak.

Matt:

You are right, too little scene change on the first verse. My original plan was to mix footage from inside a car, which were the last takes we took that day. We had some problems with that car, and ended up shooting late that day in another car that didn't match the BMW, so several things made me drop those takes, and leaving only the church location for the first verse.

I really couldn't see any out of focus on the video, but you know after watching the same video thousands of times when editing, you go blind for errors. I think it's the web compression, though... the only thing I can think of is that some of the shots get blurry when zooming in the transitions...

Boy will I be glad when hip-hop goes the way of disco and hair metal. I had to watch the video with the volume down.
