The videos are great, thanks for your effort! This is an amazing way to bring the message across.

Re: Open Letter to Matt
very nice videos, good job! I am just sad you pronounced "utilitarian" as "ulitarian" in the 1st one @12:20, hehe

You pronounced utilitarian as ulitarian in the first video at 12:22

I'm not sure if anybody says it how you did, so that was kind of weird. Probably a slip of the tongue. That's the only thing I'd suggest fixing.
Excellent illustration of the dialogue. You did a great job with the video clips too.
On to part 2...

Re: Open Letter to Matt
At the end of the third video, you said "Don't forget to check out part three", but I just watched part 3.
You've created an endless loop!
That might be worth a quick edit to, to avoid confusing people.
You could say "If you missed parts one and two, don't forget to check those out" linking to them.

Re: Open Letter to Matt
The open letter formatting looks good, but all of the links are broken:

They have a strikethrough applied, and they all go to theveganatheist.com instead of just http

Re: Open Letter to Matt
It turned out great! Really looking forward to see Matt respond—if he does. Either way it feels to me like the videos have a lot of persuasiveness in it to make people think clearer on the issue.
Wonder what Francione would think if he saw this.
I noticed both mistakes knot and brimstoneSalad also noticed, and are both worth fixing indeed.

Just watched the videos and they were very nicely done. I look forward to being a part of the next group activity.

Re: Open Letter to Matt
Great job with the videos!
:/ Doesn't seem like he's that open minded about it...

I might fisk the whole video if there's time, but I'm off to do an interview.
