I repair cedar shake and shingle roofs and can tell you hands down nails are superior to Staples. Staples tend to loosen up more over time and as Mason Lord was saying below they cause more splitting to occur.
Manufacturers are usually very helpful with instillation questions if you give them a call. most will not stand behind their warranty if installed like this video

Stapling wood shingles is a really bad idea. The shingles need to expand and contract. Staples restrict movement and cause the shingles to split.
Why bother with the chalkline if you're going to be putting the shakes overtop? Also shouldn't there be felt in between the rows?
If you fixed shingles like this in a commercial environment you would be bankrupt in no time !
try filming when there is no background noise. Its very annoying trying to hear you.
i'm laying wood shingles on a garden pavilion roof, can i lay the shingles on exterior ply or do they need to be fixed onto spaced battens?
andtastic1 when installing them over plywood you need a mesh called cedar breather to allow the shingles to have air circulation
