Looking for mean critique of helicopter video web site.
Hi.
I'm going for a real clean "less is more" kind of look for a new web site and looking for some mean critique to help me make a better design
Interested to know if something looks ugly, is difficult to use, or if it could in any way be done better.

Thanks!

Layout is sweet, it's however lacking color in my opinion.

Yeah the only thing that really adds color are the videos and pictures. Have experimented some with adding more color but not been happy with any of the results yet.
What resolution does your laptop have?
Could you take a screenshot?

Just two, not really mean though:
- Pick between SwedenByAir (which you have under <title>) and Sweden By Air (which you seem to use everywhere else)
- Add one more line to space out between different rows of videos (the video for Northern Stockholm Skyline and the one below it is close to each other at the moment)
Hope this helps. Your site looks great.

Filmed using GoPro Hero 2 and a remote controlled helicopter, can see pictures of it in the "Builds" section.

The videos are much nicer in HD, and in my experience people don't bother changing to HD format if the video are not in HD to begin with..
My thought was that I force all videos to go in the highest possible quality and for those that can't view that quality they will switch to lower.
Don't think I can make it so YouTube switches to a lower quality if it lags.

In my experience only very advanced users will adjust the quality, and then I'm left with the option to cater to the vast majority of my visitors who can view HD content, or to the few that can't and are probably used to adjusting video quality because of their internet speed. Also, in my opinion, the users experience on the site is highly dependent on the visual quality of the videos.
-I'm basing my argument on most being able to view it on information about what networks users are visiting the site from using Google Analytics.
Thanks =D
