Thanks for the comments guys. Multi Camera shoots are nice however difficult to accomplish in a street setting.. Due to the fact that you are playing to mulitipule agendas .

Thanks for the spell check Stephanie, thankfully this is a rough cut simply set up for feedback and demo purposes..

Nice demo. I like the breaking away and explaining what you did. I would expect a full pre-talk example, maybe even several, as I imagine they would vary a little form time to time. Reasonable stable camera.. nice, kudos to the cameraman. The closeups are nice. May consider using two cameras so your camera man don't have to change so much, you can chose afterward who to look at, you or the subjects. Practice where the camera goes ahead of time, how much you want in the shot etc. If he knows what you are going to do he can be ready to focus on the volunteer, you or a broader shot. It you go by the seat of your pants what you do next set up a few finger signals so he will know you are looking for... a subject close up or group shot, shot of you etc, etc.
I think, if you can carry the quality through out a course like, this I would be interested in learning from it... Good work! How long will it be?
Finally, JJ, I like your energy, confidence, and professionalism, you are a very good example to learn from. You make it look easy, and now I want to go do it...lol
Looking forward to hear/ see more!

I enjoyed that. Two quick comments: first, if the pretalk is all important, I'd like to see all of that. Please.

Second, a nitpick, because you asked for feedback. Always let someone else doublecheck spelling in your titles and notes. Spellcheck won't catch everything. Noticed "commentary" with an e in your note and a "your" that should be you're in the title.

Best wishes,
