  I am not sure whether you were referring to the video quality or the information quality. That said.
  The osteology video’s were made by local High school students as a class project. Some groups did very well and others are a bit rough. We will be redoing the osteology this next summer and ensure that they are appropriate for various levels of study. I think the cervical osteology video was a bit too advanced of a project for high school students. They all tried really hard though.
