I really liked CKRtech's suggestions about balancing narrated and hosted material. I'm not sure if Bill or I had thought much about actually being in this ourselves, but I've kept the possibility open for situations exactly like that D-Pad segment you brought up. It'd certainly be..er, handy, to have that demonstrated rather than just a still shot of a controller. Indeed, I think most situations involving a "still shot" might be better with some type of demonstration footage, provided it's done well and not cheesy or amateurish looking.
Either ourselves, an actor or a host would probably be prohibitive, simply because the only live recording scheduled - and likely in budget - will be the GDC 09 interviews. We'll have to work around that and then see as we get further along if something like that makes sense. It's all in the consistency of the HD filming...
