I like it. It is so hard to make videos, and I think people learn better when they see mistakes, and how you correct them. "Perfect" training is never realistic, and I think people get less motivated when their dog doesn't obey perfectly, like they saw on that 30 min. TV show 
He is definitely calmer.
For the purpose of showing others, you might take it the next step, as petpeeve suggested, and transfer the cue to the opening door (or knock at the door), as the signal to go to the mat... b/c I think other people would like to learn how to do that.
Also, if it is simple and you have dubbing tools, you might add a quiet narrative of what you're doing and what the dog is doing, and why.
