<pre>The original video was purposefully light and think that the music you
have chosen, while a lovely track in it's own right, flattens the
experience and makes it heavy. I also think you could do more with the
intro and exit sequences. "Discover computing as it should be" is quite
a nice line but what is the idea you are trying to portray? Black is all
very hard, heavy and serious; is that Ubuntu?

What I liked most about the music is the title and the way the tempo matched
the cadence of the promo video. The video clip convey's a great message and
the Design Team did a nice job putting it together.

I love that you took what was there and worked on it to make it
more. I think this is a really interesting idea and that if you take
the time to explore a little what values the video already has you
could make it so much more. Now that the tool has been mastered, the
exploration can commence! Do you think that the video is more about
a tune like this: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4FaGacwtd4" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4FaGacwtd4</a> - that
it is how I see it: light, dynamic, fun, friendly, happy! It moves
with bounce and energy - Ubuntu is clever enough that it doesn't
have to take itself too seriously. The pictograms have some of that:
they are constrained within a circle, they are clever but they are
approachable. The pictograms you have explored for the Artwork logo
reflect that work - is there something you could borrow from that? <br>

What do you think about writing a blog post about how to use
OpenShot? Perhaps we could work on a mood board for the video
together and then you could include that in the blog post by way of
setting out a challenge for people? There could be a visual and a
sound mood board. Maybe we could find some Creative Commons tunes
here that we could use?
