Wow, these videos look amazing guys!

The build up between 0:06 – 0:12 on the A40 video is really awesome, you can really sense the energy behind the headset. I enjoyed the plane swooshes and robotic clicks. Also between 0:25 – 0:29 of the A30 vid, I really liked how the components shuffled apart and back together – very cool.

Great work!!

Brian

WOW Can’ Wait To Get One! Great Product!
