Definitely stronger on the shooting and editing than your last video. The random cuts in music happen at strange intervals and it makes it feel jumpy. The subject matter doesn't do much for, especially because the time jumps don't convey any sense of progress. Try to move outside of the dorms for inspiration.

It was really good. i think the only thing I would suggest is more of a time change. Maybe show one bracelet being made and just show the progress of that one from start to finish. You could change the songs that way it would also help show time changes.

The song changes didn't bother me too much, I thought it went well with what was going on because it showed how time was passing and everyone was still hard at work. The only time that it bothered me was in the beginning when it was the same girl in the second shot just from a different angle. It was a different song in the second shot and it just made it seem like it jumped too fast. You can also hear you saying "now" in the beginning of that shot. I think if you just eliminated this shot all together the video would have been stronger. If your intention was to only show close-ups of the hands, I think that's a really cool idea, but if that was your intent you shouldn't have zoomed out at all because when you did that it just made me curious to see who the people were and when you didn't show much of their faces I was disappointed. So I think you should have either showed more of who was making the jewelery, or just strictly the hands close up. Either way would have worked, but how it is now just doesn't really flow right.

interesting ideas, you've definately improved from the last vid. The music jumps from one track to another a little. Try going for a few different locations next time...
