The video is really well done!

However, I'd like to offer a couple of pieces of feedback from my
non-professional point of view.

1. there are some parts of the video where it feels like it "lingers"
a little bit, a bit too much time in one scene - the
dancers/cheerleaders scene and perhaps the scene with all the people
working.

2. The speaker could be a little clearer

3. perhaps consider adding some keywords to scenes - trust, working
together, free etc, that emphasize what the speaker is saying, and
visually get the point across - vision+sound is much more powerful
than just one.

Overall, it was a great video though, with a nice feeling too it! got
some nice comments from non geeks who just started using linux (but
not kde).

Hope this helps!!
