My dad did that money tornado cage thing, and it was the funniest thing I've ever seen. Ended up with ZERO dollars.

These people are guaranteed $3k - most got somewhere between $3300 and $3700

A few small critiques:
When she walks in the door and you focus on the Money Machine sign - you should stay focused on it just slightly longer. Just enough to emphasize it.
Some of your animated money falling down at the end is a bit jerky. Might smooth out that motion a bit.
Not a big fan of the fade in the wording at the end. I'd just have it appear and be there a bit longer. Let people focus on it just a bit longer. Kind of like the sign at the beginning.

Love the music.
Great camera work. Lighting was spot on.
And you fixed the hardest part of video - the audio. Since it was just dubbed over music you didn't have to worry about audio at all. That's high production value with much less hassle.

I think his might have been at River Spirit, then. Because he certainly didn't get 3,000 bucks! So nevermind! Good work on the video, by the way.

Good feedback - much appreciated! The animation and graphics (words, dollars etc) at the end was all provided by Hard Rock, so not much I could do with it. Holding on the sign would've been ideal - but there were other clips and beat emphasis points we wanted to hit and still stay under 60 seconds - but I agree - that brands the video so a little longer linger probably would've been a good idea.

Glad you liked the song. I'll have a lyric version of Axe to Grind at some point soon. My new band is working on an EP and that'll be one of them.

I was there that night playing in a poker tournament. The casino actually put 4 of the contestants into the tournament with a $500 bounty. I took one of them out to claim it. And then went on to win the tournament. So bonus..

And yes, those ladies were smoking.

As someone who'd created videos before, you can't over state how difficult the audio portion can be. Solid move to just over dub unique audio.

There was no way to plug into the sound system the announcer was using so it was all ambient room sound anyway. Would've sounded like ass to use any of it.

She really "blossomed" towards the end of college.
