You can barely hear the song, the video quality is low, and this is a pretty bare-bones work in progress.

This character is still in a very skeletal, sketched out level of quality. Their character design hasn't been nailed yet, and you're still figuring out the movements. It seems that your pre-production process is still all over the place.

There was maybe one or three frames of this character that seemed fully inked out, and then it devolved into mannequins with balljoints as they moved, choppily, from a medium shot to a full shot. It ends with a very flat fullshot of this character with someone else, with zero environmental cues. Like, no temp backgrounds, no semblance of a stage, it's gonna need a lot more elbow grease to get this character to life.

I also don't understand the "M" rating? There was nothing here to hint at that? Unless it's lyrical content, which I can't understand, because it's so muffled and off in the background.

But, to bring it back to my initial point, I advise from a vantage point of experience when I suggest "don't upload works in progress" because, even if people are brutal dirtbags that shit all over it, that's discouraging, but also if people beam and praise you about what you've done so far, you're gonna get that endorphin kick way too early, and you're gonna get burned out before you finish this.

Then it's gonna eat away at you as weeks turn into months turn into years, while you feel like a failure because you haven't finished that music video you wanted to do.

I've been there, and it sucks.

So, succeed in privacy. Experiment privately, and get that endorphin kick showing off what you've been working hard on, when it's something REALLY special to show off. Your first FINISHED music video! That'd be a big deal! Upload that! And preferably as an export, and not a recording on your phone. Keep up the good work, do some research about animation pipelines so you can get your build order straight, and this thing's gonna look great when it's ready to view!
