It's actually fairly subjective to say 'that hurdle', like which hurdle? It could have meant anything. I felt it meant just the latest hurdle, not the whole kit-and-kabootle.

Raw Interview With Paul Elio

It definitely covered the issues better than other means. Paul doesn't seem real natural in front of a camera, or limited to 15bite seconds, and this mitigates both of those issues just a bit.

They're operating with a single camera and you're not seeing the interviewer.I second that! Thanks Bert! Very good interview, and I just get a good 'vibe' off of Paul's demeanor. But what was up with the camera guy? It was like watching Wayne's World...Unnecessary zoom! Unnecessary zoom!o_O Good thing Paul trims his nose hair!
The rapid re-framing is happening only when she's talking (and he's not), this is where you would cut in editing so you're hearing the questions (and sometimes his replies) while showing pictures / video footage / statistics / etc.
By doing that, each time they return from stock footage to the interview video, the scene is framed slightly differently so it doesn't feel static.
That's why this is the "raw" interview, not the "full" interview.
Here it is.....
2:02 in they ask the question.......but I was wrong his response was "I think we're over that hump" just my wishful thinking memory changed it to more of a positive I guess LOL

Great interview, thanks so much Bert!
To echo Charlie G's comments, the camera man I would bet has the job of getting video clips. I make videos for my company, of our plant and of our products, and it makes sense that the main purpose of the video is so they can edit it and show 5-8 sec clips on a news cast. We've all seen it on the news, they show the interview-ee talking for 5 secs, then they switch to a back-shot of the interviewer while the audio switches to the news person that's doing the 6 o'clock news. Hope that makes sense.
NDA = Non Disclosure Agreement. Folks that complain that Elio Motors is not transparent, or not transparent "enough", don't understand NDAs. And they don't care to understand. They just want to complain. Most of them have nothing better to do. "Elio Motors won't answer my question. It's not that hard." Yes, it is that hard. As Paul said, if he answered questions that violate NDAs, then significant tasks would fail. But some people don't care about that.
It is GREAT to get info straight from Paul. It's also great to have heard some of the info, so as we hear it from Paul we don't get confused (too much) by how he might say it.

Thanks Bert! Very nice. I like the way he responds to questions with the answer, AND the "reasoning" behind their decisions. I also, didn't see "song and dance"...you know, the smooth talk of the politician/scam artist (those two things seem to go together like chocolate and peanut butter). There was a question where his reply was, "I don't know". Refreshing interview. Good information. I am comfortable, not fearful.

B-roll for audio hopefully.I second that! Thanks Bert! Very good interview, and I just get a good 'vibe' off of Paul's demeanor. But what was up with the camera guy? It was like watching Wayne's World...Unnecessary zoom! Unnecessary zoom!o_O Good thing Paul trims his nose hair!

I also like how Paul accepted responsibility for the delays. He didn't throw anyone under the bus. The mark of a humble man.
