This guy does some good videos, although most of the time I'm just trying to figure out where's he's from. My current theory is Poland.
But in my experience, books are absolutely packed with information; information that is almost impossible to find online. So go to the library. "The Filmmaker's Handbook" taught me as much as any youtube video, wikipedia entry or forum did.

Film Riot is a great show http://www.revision3.com/filmriot
Indy Mogul's BFX http://www.indymogul.com
There may still be back episodes on http://2ndunit.tv
There's a bunch of free content from http://www.izzyvideo.com (he went membership driven and while back and removed a bunch though
http://www.digitaljuice.com has "DJTV" tutorials... a couple years ago, they had a few series dealing with different aspects of production "cutting class", "depth of field" were my faves... but there were others, you just have to poke back a ways in their archives.
http://www.hollywoodcamerawork.us has some demo clips up from their master class that are extremely informative
There's tons of FX and 3D tutorials around and many fewer audio tuts.

But AlcoveAudio told me that the sound is unimportant to a movie. Just use the on board microphone on the camcorder like James Cameron does.
no no no.. sonny.. Alcove told me that you can build a great location microphone from a sugar box, a D cell battery and some pencil leads.
Oh, you guys are so funny...
There's lots of good stuff on Vimeo, endless tutorials on YouTube if you have the patience to dig them out, and you may want to check out Rode University.
With Vimeo and YouTube you really have to hone your search skills to find what you want. You'll be overwhelmed if you search "filmmaking". Try specific, directed searches - three point lighting or production sound, for example. Then you have to figure out how to separate the wheat from the chaff...
