Awesome!  Thanks for sharing the videos, they're fun to watch.  Now, a little bit of constructive criticism for your son if you don't mind.  I see he tried different styles of filming when it comes to the zoom.  Some that I perfected more than others.  What I notice about a lot of "non-lifters" who film weightlifting, is that they tend to focus on the upper body, or try to "follow the bar" with the camera.  However, as I lifter I like to see the whole body, to me it's just as important seeing the legs work as it is seeing the bar move.  Anyways, thanks again for the video.
