Instructional Video — and More — with Rouxbe
Here’s what I love about the videos:
They’re short, focused, and extremely practical. When they explain something that can’t be easily seen, like the molecules in a metal pan moving around in response to increased heat, they find a clever way to demonstrate it (like putting peppercorns in the pan to show motion). The navigation makes it super-easy to jump around… yay for demanding learners like me!
Rouxbe goes further than just providing tutorial videos, though. I’m particularly impressed by the way...

Rouxbe: How-to Web Video At Its Best
Upon viewing Rouxbe videos, a few things should stand out. First, the image quality is top notch from the lighting and focus to the framing of shots and the styling of the food. The sound is clean. It exudes professionalism and that builds confidence in their product. The script is tight and to the point. The voice over is warm, assured and easy to understand. Music is added to set the tone. The editing, too, is tight, with every shot giving new and useful information. Finally, it is short."
