Great video.

Few comments:

At one point the video fades to black and then the scenes of Havana starts again. I think it would be better off without fading to black.

The car scene (quick succession of cars in different colours) have been used at least three times - I think if they were used once or at the most twice, it would be great.

There are fades as transitions between scenes/sequences (for example the band playing and a timelapsed sequence perhaps). I think it would be great without fades - rather straight hard cuts.

This is my opinion only.

Excellent video, tells a story. I do like the "Dubassy" style.

thanks for the comments and feedback..

im constantly playing around with different ways to edit my work... trying different fades and ways to cut. it often veers towards the frenetic.. well its a work in progress at the moment, part of what will be hopefully a much larger project, where i can take these editing suggestions into consideration..

now i need to choose through 2500 loops from mexico to make into somekind of demo/showcase... i'll ost htat here when its ready and up!
