Sounds good, Chris. G mentioned in IRC that he'd give us a copy of his video next time he's at the space, so there's that.
After watching some of G's excellent footage (starting here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyr9p_FeK9U), I also had the thought that rather than showing footage from our cameras pointed towards the screen, we could intersperse actual slides from Jeff's slideshow into the video with appropriate effects and continuation of the audio from the mic. Perhaps even in future talks, we could use some kind of screencast software that would allow us to take a video feed of the presenter's screen and then cut to that during demonstration periods. This would also solve the problem with lighting: as my camera kept switching from Jeff to the screen and back, the auto-adjust for the brightness kept getting confused. If we could just concentrate the cameras on the presenter and worry about the display elements later, the videos may look more consistent. Maybe I'm overthinking this, but I tend to think that the more that gets captured during these talks, the more "transparent" the talks become, the more useful they become, and the more they get people to come in and sign up.
