Good setting of atmosphere at the beginning, and generally a fairly even tone throughout the piece; I don't ever get the feeling that the music is discordant with the clips.

However, there are a few too many choppy cuts, and the rectangular-to-square switches are a bit jarring. Additionally, certain shots are too quick for the song - Sayid punching Henry when 'eeeeevil' is the line is jarring.

There's a nice switch between evil and good in there - I get and like the sarcasm of the shots.

Generally, there are a few too many talky shots.

The song has a lot of sonic "punches" to it that could be capitalized on with flashier shots where the music or the vocals snap.

That said, you did well on the build-up to the ending and once the music picked up and, like I said, I like the sarcasm behind making the 'good' shots cued to the Others and the 'evil' shots generally cued more to the Losties.

Thanks filmchick! This is the kind of feedback is really helpful for me. I hadn't done an action vid before so I really didn't have a clue what I was doing (lol). That being said, thanks for the tips on improvement.

Good video! Kind of confused me, though. The lyrics kept making it seem like good was bad and evil was good.

I still liked it.

Sorry for the confusion.....the lyrics of the song actually talk about if "good" people are corrupt and do "evil" things, then that should mean "evil" people are actually good. I just kind of tried to play around with that idea and the Others claiming to be good. Sorry if it just came out confusing, but I'm glad you liked it!
