Every slice of what is needed for this music video is here. Great Job! I especially liked the floral config. and the satin sheets drawing my eyes wanting to see more.!

I love the brooding romantic poet associations and the blue rose or flower that was an emblem for that i think. Yeh I agree the editing is amazing. Its got a sort of flatish picture space then the others like its more graphic and very composed.
