First off, I love the music, and this vid bears repeat watching, as you fit *so* much in. I like a lot of the contrasts -- Dexter and the young budding serial killer, Dexter and his father, Dexter and his brother, the real bodies and the Barbie doll. And I think the effects you use are, for the most part, effective and not overdone/done simply for the sake of the effects. The pulsing blood smiley face was particularly memorable. *g* It's a fascinating, absorbing vid, which I will watch again.
The only thing that sometimes felt off to me was following the pulsing beat a little *too* closely, at times. There were a few moments where I wanted a clip to last through a couple beats, make the rhythm more syncopated and irregular, as Dexter himself is irregular. I wanted the clip changes in some sections to be more unpredictable, more intuitive over straight regular clipping, to induce more of that uneasiness that all the blood and horrific images brought up. Although I suspect someone else might feel that the bright, bouncy beat and the regularity contrasted well with the horror, so. *g*
