I'm scanning through Lifehacker's RSS feed when I stumble across this gem:
Fold a t-shirt in 2 seconds!
It's actually a pretty handy little trick. If I wore t-shirts more often, it might speed up laundry day considerably. It took me about three viewings and five minutes to get it right. The camera vantage point makes step #3 a little more difficult to follow (i.e. pulling over and through).
Which got me to thinking-- is video a good instructional tool? What makes one video a "better" educational video than another? Is there a set of "best practices" that you can use to consistently achieve better quality in such video clips?
