Woo! That was awesome. I loved the choice of music, though I did wonder why you chose to use the whole song. It's a fairly repetitive one and would probably be easy to edit some of the middle out of. Like the song, the vid is strongest at the beginning and end and has a lot of repetition in the middle that doesn't seem to be going anywhere. I started zoning out around the three minute mark.

To hold my attention for a solid five minutes, I'd have wanted more of a structure to the middle. It seems like you have a number of sources in there, and you're covering different parts of the mythos, but I didn't feel like the vid had a transformation section and a transmission section and a killing section or different sections for different sources and plotlines: it felt like it was all parts of the mythos and all of the sources all at once, even if there was an overall progression from the beginning of the various werewolf plots (confusion, fear) to the ends (killing, infection). That feels like a simple concept that I can grasp in a couple of minutes.

Or, on the other hand, it could have helped to have even more different sources. I wasn't counting, and I didn't recognize any, but this felt like maybe 3-5 different sources on my first watch. At five minutes, you have time for way more if you're just showing common parts of the werewolf mythos and not delving into too many specific plot details from each one.

This would be fantastic projected on the wall of a Halloween dance party. For intense watching, obsessive vidder style, I feel like it bogs down in the middle.
