Peaceful Walks

We just launched "Peaceful Walks" - www.peacefulwalks.com, a new streaming media website, and need some feedback from knowledgeable web developers. The site is an online "retreat" from the stresses of everyday life and offers an escape by means of short, peaceful nature videos.

If you can, please take a look and let me know if you encounter any problems. General impressions and recommendations are also welcome.

Thanks,
Randall Thorne

This is more a marketing point but my first reaction was this was a church site and not a site I would be able to buy something from. This is probably because of the somewhat neutral color scheme weighted in the grays and muted blue/green. Also there's a ton of text on the homepage so the initial impression is that it's a reference site. If your product is interactive video experiences you need to show that upfront. Taking a screenshot of the video player interface and doing some design work with that would give you a much more effective presentation. Also the left to right gradient over the photo just wasn't working for me- try an angle it might provide a little more variety or just place the logo over a photo collage inside an image program.
