Dear Fr. Nay,

Well done. The message was strong and your hand gestures augmented the presentation.

However, the lighting was poor. The videographer should have made sure that there was enough light on the main subject (you) but there was not. The 'candles' behind you likely fooled the electronic aperture on the video camera. This should be taken into account next time.

Filming with low light can be an effective video technique but one must be careful not to leave the main subject in shadows.

Regarding your gestures: one must be careful when pointing to the audience during a lecture. Politicians are very skilled at avoiding harsh types of gestures so when they need to emphasize a point and directly address their audience, they do so with either a gently closed fist with the thumb placed gently on top of the fist or with an open hand.

This gesture appears threatening.

A small point? Yes. Still it adds polish to the overall presentation.
