Marty has really done an exceptional job here, Bill. If indeed he was inspired by us, at least for my part I feel the student has surpassed the master. He's really shown what one guy can accomplish with the right mix of technology and talent. What's more, he makes it look easy.
A few things I noticed was how seamlessly the pieces fit together, and how often the visuals change to emphasize, accentuate, or punctuate the message. I also noticed lots of tasteful video effects, such as all the shots of his working with the cube. This is really masterful stuff, and he said more in 5 minutes than others (myself included) can get across in twice that time. I don't know how long it took him to make this, but he seems to think this will be more of a monthly rather than a weekly thing.
At any rate, he's definitely humbled and inspired me, and I only hope my next Matt Chat will compare favorably to Marty's masterpiece!
