Silent Science Videos To Entertain Teens?

Looking for videos to create a youtube playlist to entertain a group of science-minded teenagers for about 30 min that are largely visual.

And it must be affordable: less than $500 including lens. [more inside]

My Googling leads me nowhere, but I seem to recall reading about this somewhere on MeFi...
