The idea was that the video started in a grey boring room. The initial
spark grabs the attention. You could also say that the grey room is the
current state of the user and that the initial spark is a symbol of
GNOME trying attempting to break through to the user.

Sorry, that's a term I translated from Danish with Google Translate...I
meant that the shiny pieces are falling, watched from a very low camera
angle. So yes, the pieces are falling against the camera.

Thank you for the feedback. I am currently working on setting up the
animation scene in Blender and will hopefully be able to show you a more
accurate mockup of the intro. I will also perform a brainstorm on how we
can otherwise create a good intro. Suggestions are always welcome, of
course! :-)
