First of all I am really happy that you all appreciate this effort! You're the best. :-)

What did you use to do the effects & editing?

The video was made in Blender 2.70, using the compositor for animations and the video sequence editor for cutting. 

Project files are a bit too big for me to share atm (project takes ~2GB space), but I did some screenshots:

I am wondering if the link at the end is correct. I seem to recall that McCann had a link too.  

If there is any other link that you would prefer to use in the end, feel free to send it - it's easily changeable.

For a future video, I would just try to keep it slightly shorter. I

felt 3 minutes was a bit too long.

hmm, perhaps you are right. We will see the response and statistics from people once the video comes out. :)

I'd love to make some subtitles for Brazilian Portuguese. Is there any

particular procedure I should follow? Where can I get the final script

for the video?

Here is the final script:

For the subtitles, you can use the *.srt format which should be quite simple:

If you prefer you can also pick a different format that youtube supports:

Two details (since you asked for feedback) that you might want to

think about changing:

 1. The repetition of "user interface" in the commentary felt a bit awkward.

 2. The animated symbolic icons (such as the ones below 3.12 here -

http://youtu.be/zfjWHRA1zbs?t=13s ) feel a bit distracting and

necessary. (Also - and this is a real nitpick - the drop shadows feel

too strong, and have inconsistent alignments.) The same goes for the

rotating cogs in the Wayland section.

Thanks for the feedback Allan, I'll have a look at these things and see what I can do about them!

Again, thanks for the feedback everyone. I'm even more motivated to revise the video now.
