Leticia, I did an informal study at the Boston Museum of Science many  
years ago and found that it is hard to get visitors to watch a video  
for more than 30 seconds unless (1) the experience is interactive or  
(2) they can sit down.  I watched a couple of hundred visitors at six  
different exhibits, and saw almost no one watch for as much as a full  
minute, even although the videos were typically much longer than that.
