BFX tipped us to this video of professional soldering techniques in the comments of our Soldering the 8bit PIC SchmartBOARD post.
The video shows how to prepare, solder, and clean a board with SMT components. Amongst other things, this tutorial shows how to solder one side of a fine pitch QFP device in one swoop of the soldering iron.
Via the comments.

You can use a regular chisel tip to do drag soldering, too. Just use lots of flux and hold it at an angle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUyetZ5RtPs
This is indeed highly pornographic, couldn’t see any slight error. It’s all perfect.
