Karmic X-splash Makeover

I've created this little animation using the Karmic X-splash background. Finally I have some time to work on Ubuntu related projects which has been neglected for some time. I have other small projects that I will share with you in the near future. Let me emphasize that the Karmic X-splash makeover is only a mockup!

    Seif Sallam -> I believe that is caused by the compression. The original file is about 1 GB and looks fine.

    It is pretty nice, but I do not like the font and font size being used for the word Ubuntu.

    Why did you choose to change the ubuntu font? It seems quite unlikely that would actually happen...

    I really like this. What software did you use for animation. Do you think its not going to slow down the startup?

    I like the direction you're going. But I don't like the font you're using, or maybe the effect on the font. I really like the font on the current xsplash though. (No capitals)

    I do have some doubts about the technical possibility of this. But if it is possible, it's really impressive. Maybe even overwhelming, but I don't mind.

    But I have to say, I'd rather have a clean smooth elegant boot, than one that tries to be as impressive as possible, but doesn't provide smooth transitions.

    If the throbber in the current xsplash freezes for half a second, it's not that distracting, but if the whole animation on the whole screen is freezing, than it's not what I call smooth.

    Nonetheless, great work!

    Yup pretty much what everyone else is saying, looks pretty cool but I would change the font to the Ubuntu logo font

    Fantastic, i think that it's perfect to be the base to create a first boot video for Ubuntu, just like the one on OSX. What do you think ?
