I'll echo a few others' thoughts here.
Video is the ultimate learning tool, especially for us officials. I think that even if a disclaimer needs to be issued to the entire chapter, everyone does need to know that their video could possibly be accessed and shown for teaching purposes at meetings, etc...make it a part of your by-laws if needed.
With that being said, I feel it's always a good idea to reach out to any individual who may be featured as part of a topic for discussion, no matter the play/rule/scenario. That way, you can get their perspective on the play and not catch them off-guard when showing the video...even though they should expect it based on the aforementioned agreement.
I find that when critiquing/evaluating...it's always good to start with a positive and then stay positive and reinforce good tendencies.
At the end of the day, some people just can't take being on video or having their plays dissected. But this is how we get better. Good luck and if you need any video, don't be afraid to reach out.........to JRut! He's got all the videos!
