To start lets see what video series are around and it seems to be some
material already (and the most important, people willing to do emacs
videos):

So far (as I have seen most of those) they have just 3 issues:

1) Put most of the attention in the external packages and not in the
vanilla functionalities.

2) They are not connected or referenced in the emacs web site. But also
they make little or no reference to the manual at all.

3) I saw a series of vim tutorials and the videos were sealing vim much
better. Even the vim terrible modes they found a way to sale them as
features..

4*) There are very few videos about elisp language and programming or
the emacs infrastructure.
