Not much to say about this one, it does what it says on the tin really.

I think it needs to be fairly sensible as it would be very hard to reproduce this in the classroom, so you might as well really see clearly what’s going on here.

 

This was a surprising success to film. After a few dry runs we got it in one take. Note please how very very good the camera work is, it moves around, but not in an annoying way, and the camera operator has worked out in advance what you need to see and when, so you are never left wondering what our presenter is talking about.

Note too, how very good the presenter is. Used to talking to large and live audiences, she has toned it down for the camera the right amount.
