Jez is right about the follow focusing ability of digital camera in video
mode, the later M4/3 may be good but it is never as good as a real videocam.
You need to discuss with your friend to see how he want the video be taken.
As Jez mentioned 10 minutes of video with a fixed shooting point without
zooming or moving the camera could be boring.
10 minutes of final product will need much more raw supply, say 20-30
minutes. You need to consider it to be handheld or with tripod, you may also
need a video head if you planned to do panning.
For the audio part, you may consider a separater audio recorder, otherwise
the noise of operating the camera may be recorded such as changing the
aperture or zooming.

Admittedly I haven't tried very hard (like the occasional few seconds you
mentioned) but my results always showed dreadful follow-focussing (on my
Canon p&s and my Nikon SLR). I would just suggest practising and see if
you
can get good results. For sure if it's an almost static subject from a
reasonable distance you're starting off with a good chance - although the
resulting video might be a little boring unless you can interject some
movement/zoom/...
good luck

Can you explain? Demo videos I've seen on YouTube show excellent
follow-focus capability on moving subjects. In this case, a presenter in
a
classroom, the focus distance will remain nearly constant. What's the
concern?

I've never made a video of any sort except a few seconds here and there

A friend who teaches use of iPads and iPhones asked me to help him make
a 10 minute demonstration video of him teaching, said video to be put
on
a DVD. I assume my E-M1 is up to the task even if I'm not. One of my
concerns is audio. Lighting is another but think I can handle that
part
OK.
Any advice beyond "Don't do it!"?
