Give the fill the 50 opacity but before going the the 3D effect go to the appearance panel and instead of selecting the fill you want to select the Path as you are going to apply the 3D effect to the object and not its fill, the object has the dimensions or if you wish the geometry and the fill is only contained with in the geometry. Teri Petit would explain this a little differently but it is the same thing. So you apply the effect at the object level. Now you will be able to see the hidden faces. Yes very tricky but essential in the way illustrator works. If they did not mention this in the Video it was an oversight or they mentioned it in some earlier tutorial about applying effects. Maybe one day Mordy will do tutorial on the different levels that effects and selections can be made and applied.
