Hey Piggy,

Don't be disappointed! Your work is very good. It's only that we all have
gotten used to pushing each other for absolute perfection ;)

I love the song. Is it a free song that we can actually use?

I agree that it should show off only default apps to avoid confusion about
what Luna does out of the box. The HTML5 apps like Angry Birds should also
work in Midori just fine :)

I think we need to be especially strict about showing only Midori as our
web browser simply because we have a lot of competition, FUD, and
misconceptions to overcome with it. People should know that it's just as
fast and just as capable as the big players (just like our OS!)

I showed the video off to my dad (old guy test) and he said he really
enjoyed it, but that the transitions were too fast. I agree that in some
cases it felt like things weren't shown on the screen long enough to really
absorb.

Another thing I would make sure is to use either Open Sans or Open Sans
Light for your font. This would more closely tie your ad into our official
branding.

Also "elementary" is never capitalized. So, for the website I think it's
fine to write either "elementaryOS.org" or "elementaryos.org"

But I liked the timing with the music, the selection of features you chose
to show off and the overall feel. It just felt good to watch :)
