I wish I could find the video I'm thinking of . . . a fellow named John Walker did several wreck videos from Southern California, with voiceovers telling what part of the wreck you were looking at and why they found it interesting. They were the first wreck videos I ever watched and UNDERSTOOD, and therefore found interesting. Most of the time, I'm looking at silty pieces of rusted, twisted metal that make no more sense to me than Arabic writing (and aren't as pretty). Voiceovers can be very effective.
So can captions -- Dale C here on ScubaBoard does very nice videos with captioning, and Gombessa has done that, too. Just something to explain to the viewer where you were, or who is in the picture, or why this particular clip was interesting enough to include.
I have watched many, many hours of underwater video in the last eight years. Nowadays, a video really has to be done well to be memorable. Unless it has bunnies . . .
