I plan to go over the video and extrapolate as after watching the video I didn't know what questions to ask. LOL
What question should I be asking?

"Is there a way I can record the sick cow sounds when you move blobs around in Melodyne? I'm scoring a sci-fi movie with sick interstellar cows, those sounds would be perfect."
"Wow, those Mark Longworth songs are so much better than yours. Why didn't you just use all his songs?"
"Hey! Those track icons don't look like what came with Sonar. Where did you get them?"
"How did you get those great bass sounds in that song about politicians?"
"Can you tell me what happens during the video demo? Those ambient sounds make me go into a trance, and I fall asleep so I miss out on what you're saying."
"I missed the first part of the seminar. Is that a new version of Pro Tools?"

What I would like to hear Craig is how did you come up with the idea of side chaining the guitar to have it pulse in time with the beat like it does? I would have never thought of that. And wouldn't have even paid it no mind if I was told about it. But once I heard the fx, whoa!! Nice!!

I've been using vocoders to do "drumcoding" for years, i.e., drums replace the mic and serve as the modulator. This sounds particularly good with power chords.
 
So, when software sidechaining came along, it wasn't too much of a stretch to use the drums to modulate the gate. Although it's not as complex-sounding an effect as drumcoding, as you found out it's still pretty dramatic.

I just finished it. It was very good. Inspiring, your experience and comfort level with Sonar is humbling. Thank you for sharing.
Congratulations on a career well executed, I hope you continue to prosper.... and share. Thanks!
