Creating the video yourself?
Some notes - To optimize the performance of video before it has been encoded for the web, some basic guidelines will help make it look good.
1. Ensure that the video brightness and colors work well with the colors of the background on the web site that it will be displayed on. E.g., dark images don't work well with white backgrounds, but bright images are fine for dark backgrounds. (it's really more a matter of contrast between the two.)
2. Constant motion, especially a lot of fast motion with fast edits, will be noisy and choppy after encoding. Static shots work the best and will be the cleanest on the web.
3. Wide angles with very small details will be difficult to see on the web. The image size will end up pretty small by the time it is encoded. Close-ups are better for web video than wide shots where your subject is very small.
