Wow. I really really adored this. It's definitely a keeper (as in, on my hard drive).
I love the way you've started it like one of the original black and white movies with dramatic titles, and then adding the effect on the 'Frank Sinatra' text in time with the music (movement onscreen in time with beats in the music is a personal favourite)
As for song choice: I really think this is perfect. I mean, sure, Lilly does suit other songs, like the more modern, chickrock songs to an extent. But I prefer her in this, oldies context. I mean, those other songs fit her perhaps better in life but this video is more about her death and it really fits into one of those 50's 'swing' moods.
I also love how you've got quite short clips a lot of the time, they also fit the style of music somehow. They remind me of old black and white movies where they would fade in and out of black rather than just cutting like they do in films now.
I also love the way you've handled the scenes with Veronica and Lilly repeating what happened to one of the other ones - perfect timing.

One last thing (last, I promise) - I also love that you've managed to keep it black and white almost all the way through without letting it get boring at all. Shows true talent.

This is definitely one of my favourite videos. Thank you and well done!
