About the effects in the song, I liked the loop and music, the multilayer image effects too, but maybe you can try in a plain background, ei the picture on the wall maybe take off, just an idea...
Oh, the preparation, yeah, sometimes we complicate too much, but it because we want to improve and try out new things and it is good.
