It's an interesting tack, and it's probably the hot new thing
I've missed... but how do you do a video business presentation?
Animations of pie charts exploding?  Graphs growing?  I mean, 
I'm not being critical, but I've never seen an example of such
a beast - what would be presented in a video format as opposed
to paper, in a business environment?  Has anybody here ever
seen or made such a bizvid?
