Not bad. Definitely a good start. I'm not much of a graphic or video person.
Ok.. first off.. its nice quality.. great sound .. love the ending with the ToW Seal. It could be said its good enough out of the box.. but you know how picky we all are 
Now for the Crits
1) Too Long
2) Narration... who is that? Would be nice to have our own voice, etc
3) Yellow letters or wording/txt you added ( or someone did ) color is kinda hard to see.. you can see it.. it just does not POP OUT and bite

I think it was with Jester we talked about a vid before I made the draft.
This is what we talked about:
We talked about a vid about 90 seconds (this one is 4 minutes, because the song is 4 minutes
). Music will have a huge impact, and I can choose from a variety of epic songs.
We talked about a voice over narrative using the history of RSI-TOW and the voice of Mirada.
This is a draft. it shows you the possibilities of what we can use. There was no need to make a final version without input. Of course text needs to be readable. I only showed that because it is the castellar font and it functions as subtitling.
So as there are no other points I know I'm on the right track and I will make a shorter video. I will put in text and computer generated narrative as an "example". We can fill it in later with real voice and choose to tune down the text. There will be a flash intro and outro.
I'll be back soon

Sounds good.
1) voice over? Do you mean ToW Member Miranda, a voice effect from the chat program Miranda or something else? I think the evE female voice is very effective.
2) font. Looks a bit old fashioned. Can we find something more inline with the ToW seal lettering?. Needs the colour/contrast sorting.
3) Length. 90secs sounds good.
4) Music needs to be quite calm but forceful.

Right,
a few new drafts here. I still used the castellar font which is used in the TOW-seal, but I removed BOLD.
The first vid is with a bit of calm music, which can be used when we do voice over. And indeed, I mean Tow-Mirada. His deep voice is very good for this stuff. Reading the entire history takes 3:12 minutes, so that's a no-go. Maybe we can use voice over to enhance the professions within RSI. And yes, why not a female voice. Any candidates?
The second vid has more ballsy music. Voice over will be tough here.
The third vid - yes it can - is even more epic musically. I recommend we use this music for a vid with ingame footage after the game goes live.
EDIT: Vid links removed because obsolete

I would like to see the BSG font in a slightly different colour - A blue maybe
I think the music can have impact points for video events
I think we should nto advertise all trades as our organisation doesnt support all trades yet...

The 3rd Vid that won't post cuz we only allow a max of 2 vids per post I think.

Castellar seems to be only good or proper when its font size is BIG. The color 'yellow' is not showing that well.. yes you can read it but it does not jump out. If you increase the font size the yellow might be good, but I suspect white is the color to go with.a few new drafts here.

Move the Text.. from top of the vid... to bottom right and/or bottom left depending at what part of the vid you are at.. i.e. where it would show up best at each occurrence. If the Text 'pops out' at you.. its OK regardless of where it is.
Music and voice over.
I think your choice of music is A OK. You have a good talent for that. As far as voice over.. you might be better off with a friend, relative or someone that lives close by to you as I think.. you will need a studio type environment ( no noise from the kids, dog, yard, street, etc ) ... but then I don't know much about that.
Now for the Biggie.. I want you !
Put the right ToW logo on the mans Jacket... then pull it out from there
