Youth ain't always a plus. If I were rolling a distro for serious users -- and Dream Studio is intended to support serious multimedia creation -- I'd want to start with something fairly well established.

That said, razor-qt does look like a contendor. Lightweight and fast are always good things when you want to do work that may try to grab all the memory you've got.

I like Bodhi, but I think xfce is better suited for a project like this

You may of also come across the tests that Phoronix did on opengl efficiency of various desktops, again XFCE came out pretty much tops in that shoot out, cant wait for 4.10

On the poll I voted for KDE though as I generally prefer it, but implementation can make or break it, which is why I opted to not got for kubuntu-desktop when replacing Unity.
