Since we've all discovered that you can indeed change the boot splash video, here is my take on just that. (Borrowing such a topic from claesbas, hope you don't mind ). Four versions later and a whole lot of wasted homework time brings...

A semi/final version of it (Made in blender3D):



And the video itself:

Comments? Crits? As they say in artist forums.

Edit:
Background lightened, contrast improved, motion blur added. Version 5, same link as above.

I like it! Blender is the right tool for a maemo boot video. Is it possible to add motion blur in Blender? I think that would give your animation a much smoother look. I would darken the star/space background abit too.

Otherwise just great!

I know about the spilled hours! LOL! hehe, I am now sitting with my (paid) other projects and it is now 01:13 and I have yet a few hours work. Its impossible to go away when you get going.

Love it, thank you so much.

I got a critter indeed. Right before the fullscreen "Maemo.org power of open" pops up some windows float on the middle, moving to bottom, slighlty to right. One of them is quite bright, and this did not feel good on eyes, esp first time. I suggest to make that one less bright because the contrast difference with the black changes too rapidly. Screenshot attached for Claire Ehtii. Just my 2 ct...

Alright, lightened the background and the screenshot of ovi maps and the image browser (pictured in allnameswereout's post) in addition to rendering with motion blur for version 5.

Will edit the original post when finished rendering (motion blur makes it take 8times longer :/ ).

I didn't want to edit the picture, maybe I should have. For clarity: my reference is to the one in the middle of the screen. The exact middle, from which final logo stems from. You see, right after that it becomes black. The one which is more bright but on the right bothers me less.

Argh. The larger one, above of the 2nd circle. I've marked it red in attachment.

The others don't bother me.

It may be just me btw.

(I mean... the first part of the tune reminds me of Winamp )

, could just be you, that one is the same one as the other ones on the edges, and it was very similar to the background color so I didn't mark it heh.

It is similar as others indeed, but if one is focused on middle of screen.... OTOH on this screen I stare, is different than Nokia N900.
