Hanan...you didn't say what is the purpose of the video. What did you hope to accomplish with it? What is the target audience? If you're trying to show young people how this works and illustrate certain math concepts, it seems to work fine for me. If you're trying to do something else then maybe not. Why not give your camera to some young people and have them shoot and produce the video? If young people are the target audience, telling the story from their perspective might be more effective.
