Vimeo, the online video sharing site has recently set up what they call the Vimeo School - a section of their site dedicated to teaching people both basic and advanced techniques in video creation. They have dozens of video tutorials from how to get started to how to refine advanced skills. I've watched a few of the tutorials and I think that they are great.
