Ah, yes, things like JOVE [0] are definitely useful but they don't seem to scale to the sheer number of protocols that need to be documented (eg a single JOVE publication is exceedingly expensive). I have also heard from people who have tried to record video of themselves doing a protocol is that it is very hard to make them understandable for someone else. That said if the 'viewer' is highly motivated videos of any quality could be invaluable. Sometimes it is just better to buy the plane tickets and go directly to the lab of the person who can teach you (if they are still around).

That's what I meant. Just stick some cameras in the ceiling (or wherever is best) and capture what you can. It seems cheap and better than nothing, but I know nothing about biological research.
