Try using more cuts (switching from one shot to another) and less wipe effects. (I'm just reminded of Homer Simpson and his star-wipes...) That way, you can spend more time syncing up the music with the shots. For example, doing a bunch of really quick cuts matched up with a drum beat, and then cut to a longer shot.
Also, the text effects are a bit over the top (especially the chrome effect.) What I'd have done is maybe go to a high-exposure (slightly washed out) black-and-white whenever you stop on a player and overlay the name- and then just use a cool but readable font in simple but readable colors (say black with white border, or vise versa). That way, the text is easy to read, and you're giving the viewer some impressive eye-candy behind it.
heh, sorry- that's a bit of a mouth-full. College critiques must really be getting into my head... anyway, just suggestions for the next one you do.
And, if I could suggest a song for the next one, I'd go with Slam (the biohazard remix) by Onyx. But that's all up to you.

"And we star wipe to a scene of you trimming the hedges, then star wipe to you in the shower, then star wipe out."
Haha, yeah, that is true. I think a part of the problem was that, for this particular video, I changed the music after I had the video made, which was a rookie mistake.
As for the text, I'll be sure to try some of that next time, as well as some experimentation with floating the letters into a shot instead of pausing the film to insert the pictures. For this video, I'll admit I got lazy and just threw things into PowerPoint to get it done quicker, haha.
Thanks for all suggestions. Will look up the song too. Being a diehard metalhead, it just seemed logical to make the first one headbang.
