Nice job.
I have that lens on my F3 and recently used it in on FS700 for slow motion close ups of bees. May have to get another one so I can have one on both cameras at the same time.
cheers

There's something about looking at ceiling lights that detracts from the scene. Also feel that extremely long answers tend to get boring while the shotgun mic picks up every noise in the room. JMHO.

It is tough to be a one man band on the run.
Shotgun mic used on a pole, aiming away from noise and just out of frame can be very effective, but you need a sound person for that. A wireless (or wired in a hi RF environment) lav with Rycote under cover sticky mounts work great for quickly putting a lav on talent, completely out of sight, I put them under the shirt collar a lot, or just inside a shirt or whatever even on the bottom of a baseball cap in noisy environments, works well.
Wide angle is great for POV and shots in tight places, but not all that complementary for talking heads. 50-100 mm range is generally nice for that. And shoulder hight feels comfortable to watch IMHO. I also like not centering every shot. But mixing it up is nice.
Wide can be nice for shots where the BG is very interesting and the talent is off to one side or whatever, kind of like A and B-roll at the same time.
Just a few thoughts. I like the choice of B&W for this piece.

Nicely put together! Perhaps a wee it too much up-nostril, but I thought the "live space" sound and the cool music track worked well, and gave it a sense of people getting excited about the subject. Maybe some of the audio transitions could have been a little smoother. Definitely impressed that you were able to interview someone inside the CM -- that's a tiny space to be working in.
