Get something like Fraps.com and also a video editor... and then export to either WMV HD or MP4 I found WMV gets translated well to YouTube...

just move around while recording [use hot-keys to record start and record end while in-game]

and then convert the HUGE fraps files to more manageable files and then cut and add effects to the videos in your editors... or depending on your product, others can help...

if you need more tips or help just ask

The best YouTube format is 720p MP4 H.264 video codec, ACC audio codec.

What you want to do is key frame animation for camera movement and it's easy to set up. All you do is set up two or more points for the camera at specific times (position/orientation etc...) and translate (linear/bezier etc) between them. If you've never done something like this, it's kind of advanced stuff but something that should be looked into if you want full control over camera movement.

Even easier than that is to do pathfollowing between waypoints or splines and unlock camera rotation. So basically it's like the cameras moving along a track but you can still rotate it.

and make sure you are controlling the frame rate as well as the camera rotation speed

even if you record in slow motion, you can use your video editor to speed up the footage, slowing things down allows you to capture interesting effects or events

I was going to suggest using camera controls but it is a bit advanced

Let's hope he's using timer based movement already cause that can be fun to setup correctly
