There is already a beautiful video of time-lapse (at least for early
stages) done by Don Kane and Rachel Warga.  It is part of the tape: "A
Dozen Eggs - time-lapse microscopy of normal development" produced by
Sinauer Assoc. for the Society for Developmental Biology.  I think you can
buy the tape from the Society.
