I really liked the music, but that's because I had the album 'Pop Said' by The Darling Buds, back in the late 80's. Too bad I can't get hold of it any more . Seeing it prompted me to have aa quick look around to see if I could find any more info on them, and I hadn't realised they had done more than one album!
I assume you are looking for a little constructive criticism. I like it, but here are a few small things I would change:
- I don't like how it opens up, just dropping that part I think would be better.
- I don't like how the lines of the screen are colored, I see what you're going for, but it doesn't work for me.
- The part after that with the Apple logo blinking in and out is kind of weird, can't put my finger on it, I just don't see how it fits with the guess.
- The kaleidoscope part near the end is cool, but it lasts a little long, just my opinion.
- Rainbow apple logos are a no-no
- Good song, but needs to be a little faster I think.
Other than that, it's really cool. Reminds me of something from VH1.
I really liked that a lot! But, I agree with others that the music isnt the best. The whole bit with the hearts and then the bit with the stuff where it is like one of those things you look through and its got all those different shapes...I didnt like that. I think some of the color could have been taken away also.
I think this was a tie-in with the lyrics at that particular point, no? It says Ooooh I've loved you and it goes from a circle during Oooh to a heart during love. If it was intentional, makes it cooler.
The relevance of the lyrics makes the song attractive, I think, even if it's not as catchy as any of the ones that Apple's used. And in any case, I don't find most of Apple's commercial songs as catchy when they're not edited down to 30 or 45 secs. The BEP music video?!
" think this was a tie-in with the lyrics at that particular point, no? It says Ooooh I've loved you and it goes from a circle during Oooh to a heart during love. If it was intentional, makes it cooler."
Very cool of you to pick up on that subtlety, thanks I appreciate that.
i wasn't a big "Hey Mama" fan, they should have used "Let's Get Retarded" best song on the whole cd
They did, if I remember correctly. But it obviously became "Let's Get Started." Can't find it, but I'm pretty sure I saw it on a MacEvent stream, since in Spain they don't have a whole lot of ipod commercials (I've never even seen an ipod in person).

Anyway, great job

Anyone back me up here?
VERY good. I wish I knew where to begin in creating that.
