I want to make a music video just like THIS. Awesome.

Great editing and some excellent shots of karate vs ice cream.

It's well shot, but I don't really like it at all. It almost looks like a propaganda film for Battles to prove that girls can like their music too (sponsored by American Apparel)!

I can just imagine every context-less (but nice-looking) scene being converted into a .gif and posted on Tumblr. Which isn't really a terrible thing, I suppose, but it just makes the whole video feel really ephemeral. There's about 3 or 4 really great moments but it's cheapened by the gratuitous slow-mo shots of "laydeez doing sexy things" (which Canada pretty much did to death in the El Guincho video, which is way too similar to this).

@Dan. Why would you want to make a video like this? It's already been made...

@Weston. Agreed. I was expressing my jealousy of this video's 'awesomeness'.
As Canada are obviously inspired by David Lynch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9JcC4DPTSM) in the fight scene at 3:40. I also find this video inspiring.

Not sure why this video is so hyped, doesn't seem all that interesting to me.

I was bored by it, to be honest. Nothing necessarily wrong with it, just didn't appeal to me. Don't get the hype.
