Clearly the feedback is somewhat less positive than what I had hoped for, it seems the 8 community is more concerned with minor details like title, mods etc...rather than the polished video product. With all the ameteur street racing videos out there involving the 8, I figured I'd try to give back to the community a more professional outlook on what I believe to be a great car, much in the vein of Top Gear and Fifth Gear. Since not many seem interested, I'll simply change plans a bit.

Momentum Keeps Me Going
^ I don't see the point just taking your toys and going away, you asked for + and - feedback. Take what is offered for what it is, you've got to know that almost anything you do/say here will get reactions you'll be surprised by?
As to the vid, it's "ok" IMHO. We all have seen so many vids, most people are fairly critical right or wrong... it's simply their opinion. For my opinion, I'd have to say to you... indeed, "everything counts". ...i.e., fancy equipment is nice and helps of course, but details count, titling counts, focus counts, composition, and ..and in the final analysis people 'know' what's good when they see it! I realize you put your heart into it, that's good...now take the feedback and go and revise to make it better - unless you're only trying to impress yourself....something truly amazing only comes after failing, and failing, and failing again to reach you sought after goals. Perseverance, introspection and skills improvement takes time and effort and disappointment to achieve success...and it still may not be reachable in the end. But trying is the fun part isn't it?
In the full disclosure part you've got comments on, perhaps list your mods to make it plain to everyone...then you'll not get beat up on that anyway.
Why not come back with your next attempt and see what peps say? BTW I think if there was no interest, you wouldn't have any comments...and that's not the case. Think about it.

Don't mind all the hate man, your work is done professionally done. I rather have your 8 with MS or replictated MS parts then some the crap that owners put on there 8 here in this forum.
Your car looks great, the vid and pics look great, keep up the good work.

I liked the video and admit it's 1000 times better than anything I could make. The pictures came out great too. I was just pointing out the one thing I could give feedback/criticism on.
Still wondering what the sound was... it didn't sound like a rotary, but if that was the actual sound, what exhaust do you have?

Has a Top Gear car review feel to it. I like where your going with this, lets see the final product! 
And some tips on the photos, that last shot, maybe photoshop that pillar out of the way? I think that pillar draws way to much attention. I love that first shot though, the reflection is a good idea that I'll be borrowing =D
