I feel like this could have been one of the great Star Wars edits, but falls short of that goal. My number one concern is with the dialogue cards. While they look nice, the dialogue chosen is often very little compared to what is shown as said, and does sometimes not explain the actions of the characters. At times there is confusion as to who says what. That some things are misspelled can be overlooked, but does distract me when the meaning becomes a little unclear.
The movie skips a few bits that are not explained, thus making the audience wonder a bit about what has happened. With the help of dialogue cards I’m sure something could have been made of this. And that leads me to general storytelling…this could have taken the chance to really mark out the most rememberable and great conversations, but uses very little to that effect. I get the feeling that the dialogue is…very secondary, compared to making the video fit the music. So it feels a little whatever at some times.
Phew. Ok, got that out.
Very nice video, and it’s great to experience the music like this. Must have been one hell of a job to set that right! I really like the idea.
This gets 3 / 5 stars from me!
