Love the sound of that flute. Very nice. Try also aiming the airstream to your right (instead of the left, like most people). That means, swing the footjoint horizontally out-away from you and imagine blowing right down the tube. Try that. You start warming up nicely around 5:10.
You have a very nice tone, but I think you over correct with your airstream and your vibrato. To me it sounds like some of your notes are cracked when you over compensate with the waves of your vibrato. Additionally, some of your notes sounded a bit flat to my ear, but that may just be the video! I love this piece and you did a very good job! :)
Wow. You sound awesome! This is one of my favorite pieces for the flute, and you demonstrated great ability not only in technique and intonation but in emotion.
I'd watch out for your vibrato, though. Especially when moving to different notes. You tend to stop vibrating, and because your particular vib is so fast, it's really, really obvious and gives kind of a ''weeaaahh' effect. Also, try to fit your vib into the sound. It kind of sits on top of the pitch here.

watch out for your counting in the begining of the piece. But overall I'm very very impressed with your tone. Very beautiful!
