Awesome!

Getting these ideas wider presentation is a good thing.

One stylistic nitpick: I know the visual style you're going for requires the words to appear incrementally in the video, in time with the spoken presentation. But do they really have to appear syllable by syllable in some cases? Things like "Al-fred-Tar-ski" comes across to me as if you're talking down to the viewer, which I don't think is your intention.

I agree with you. If you pay attention, you'll notice the overall presentation of the text changes dramatically as the video goes forward. This correlates to the lessons I learned in real time while making it, and the earlier video is only like the way it is because I didn't feel like going back and changing things was an important enough of an improvement to warrant the effort.
