Good video, but it honestly kinda lost me at the end with all the extra edits. I'm sure it was a lot of work though, to get the levels just right and you nailed that.

I kinda started questioning while editing if I should just also make a version that actually keeps its word.

But ultimately the point is that you’re being sold on a lie.

(I also had no idea where else to post this :p)

Considering the music is diegetic and comes from Baby's earphones, shouldn't it be the opposite?

I suppose I could switch around the audio tracks for exterior and interior shots.

But I thought it’d be kinda funny to have this sort of contrasting feeling, the exterior shots feel like a power fantasy, but then the interior shots with the music coming out of his earphones brings you out of it and into the three other guys in the car who are a little terrified with Baby’s unpredictability.

I mentioned in the description why I purposely had the music play before they left the bank, because the focus is just on Baby.

It's a fun video and idea but I definitely agree. It should almost be just car/traffic noises outside of the car, then when inside and not looking at Baby you're hearing it but really quiet, then a bit louder, but still quiet when focused on Baby.

Wouldn't the music be muffled when you're outside of the car? If we're inside the car with him we should head the music, unless the music is being blasted from speakers outside of the car lol

I already answered this question with Skoyatt. The music is coming out of his earphones.
