Oh my gosh, how annoying is the video at the bottom? I was hoping to just see the interview with Paul, not a sliced and diced version that screetches like he's pulling a needle over a record..

Yikes! Alex, I'm still trying to figure out how to sum up long interviews in short videos. I'll keep at it.

As a video on it's own merits, I liked it.
But I watched it after reading the post, which was already an abbreviated form of the interview. I only watched the video because the post had already interested me, but watching the video after reading the post didn't really add anything. Given this presentation, I think it would have made sense to embed the full video instead.

Suggestion: keep (the time you're on the screen)/(the time Paul is on the screen) ratio as low as possible. There's no need to repeat what he just said, or spend a long time introducing him. Sorry if it's blunt, but I'd be interested in what he says even if he goes on for an hour, and not interested in your summaries of his opinions in the least.

You're right. Most videos need more of a setup, but I think Paul was clear on his own.

Sorry I was a bit harsh there. I had really hoped to see the full interview and got a little frustrated.
Curious.. do you have the original (full-length) interview video? Would you mind posting it somewhere?

Nah. I appreciate the feedback. I'm uploading the full video to Vimeo. Will post a link here when it's done.

I actually quite enjoyed that style of video interview. It broke it up for me and clearly separated each chunk of information, letting a few seconds for it to set in and moved on to the next question.
