"Everything That Grownups Know" 3D in-progress critique

Quick background: I'm a singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist who is jumping head first into filmmaking/animation/stereoscopy. (I'm making an animated 3D video album -- more info here.)

I received some helpful feedback from the first video I'd posted a little while back. Instead of waiting until the entire second video is done and then soliciting feedback, I thought I could post segments of the video as they are completed, and solicit your feedback on this thread as I go along.

This song is called "Everything That Grownups Know." You can hear the song (with no visuals) here. The main thing I'm looking for critiques on at the moment, though, are the visuals, and here's the first segment that's completed:

Thoughts?

Here's a new take on that clip:

There's still a couple things to fix, but... anyone?

Looking pretty good so far. I think the 3D effect in the movie theater was better than some real movies. Nice job.

One point, try not to make too many fast cuts or changes in depth (like with the pictures flipping) as this can be jarring. Maybe just slow it down a bit.

Thanks for the comments, cyberreality -- just saw your post right now.

I've got some new footage here:

It's still a work in progress, there's things that are going to change, yada yada yada...

Looking alright. I feel like in the beginning the house looked kinda flat, but otherwise it was OK.

Lots of progress has been made recently:

I think you forgot to set it as a 3D video.

YouTube didn't retain my 3D settings for some reason... Try it again now

Cool.

Five months after starting this thread, the video is finally done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9Vt11n4dtE" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks for your feedback!

Awesome job. It really came together from the last time I saw it.

Wow great job.
