This video, albeit following the usual MTV-esque video formula, isn't bad. I really love the colors and different scenes they filmed. It's not too heavy, nor is it too light. Again, Timbaland's presence doesn't help. I prefer Timbaland as a producer, and not as a performer. Matter-of-factly, I can't stand his presence in any of his videos.
That being said, this video features a nice mix of styling, camera work and editing. What I really loved was that the scene cuts were intermittent and not annoying consistent and every two seconds.
As far as the story line matching the song's concept goes it was the usual run-of-the-mill Hollywood/MTV thing, lol (in other words, it was OK).
Styling: The outfits and accessories really work. I especially loved the retro aspect of the car and Timbaland's sunglasses - HAWT!
Another aspect where this video shines is just the splendid variety of scenes and the accompanying styling. It's not an easy feat to mix different scenes and montages into one video and make it all flow.
I definitely like the song more now that I've seen the video.
