Quoted from flynnibus:I'm a big fan of videos over pictures... because I tell myself the details and not just rely on the static photos. I have a small camcorder and just record a brief replay of what I did and describe the bits involved as I move through the game. So each segment is only 30secs or a minute typically. But doing that.. along with a visual tour of the game before I tear into a major section has worked incredibly well for me. Instead of trying to lay things out like the visual stacking of elements on a bolt, etc.. I can verbalize that detail much easier.
Funny, personally I hate videos. I can't ever seem to be able to easily stop and zoom in on something when I need it. I take pictures, and a LOT of them, in the order I disassemble. So when I pull ball guides off, I have a picture of ever one, when I pull it off, what came off of where, etc...so reassembly sometimes (in theory) is just flipping through my pictures backwards.
The last time I used a video it was poor and of course went blurry JUST at the moment I needed to see something. But they do work well for a lot of folks. Just not me.
