I don't want to be negative but that was, in my opinion, a very poorly conducted interview. I wish the interviewer wouldn't stick to the script so much and that he would have followed up to some of the interesting comments Robert made. I wish the questions weren't so jumpy and that he had a theme or a linear form. And I wish he would stop looking at the paper and the camera so much and looked at the person he is supposed to be interested in.

One radical change to overcome some of the big deficiencies the interviewer has is to move behind the camera, clip the interview into a series a Q&As and completely avoid the "conversation type" interviews.

Fair. There is always this compromise between maximizing content per minute by following the script vs trading off the content for natural flow. Thanks for feedback, will pay attention to this in future interviews.
