Hi Brad,
Looks good. It would be nice to imbed media (video) as opposed to the re-direct to Vimeo. I'm not sure if your website template allows it though. Also while Vimeo is the preferred video...

Spiros,
This is good. But... at 2:50 you can see that the problem of using AF is that if your subject moves off-center, the camera will re-focus on the background which is ok for most things but...
