I get inspiration from Adam Lisagor, his videos are online at http://sandwichvideo.com/. He uses people in his product videos, not just the product. They have a very personal feel, which definitely reaches me. Of course, he has more than a bootstrap budget, but if you want to try filming people, check out The Frugal Filmmaker's blog for tips on setting up lighting, etc. on the cheap http://filmflap.blogspot.com/. Good luck!

How did sandwichvideo integrate the Youtube videos into the site so well? There are no controls, no borders, no nothing. I know you can customize some of the embed parameters, but I've never seen it done like that.

They are just thumbnail images that link to the YouTube videos. No magic at all, unfortunately.

How do you ensure Youtube does not run ads against the videos? Is there a paid version or something?
