Assuming the files are all below some common point like "public/ big_video_clips/" you can just add "public/big_video_clips/*" to the .gitignore file in the project root.

Thanks. To confirm, Capistrano will still deploy files even if they are
gitignored as long as they are in a subdirectory like public/big/* ?
Capistrano will only deploy files if they do not match a pattern within
your .gitignore file. For example,
public/big/*
will exclude all files and folders who’s parent folder is ‘#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/big’. If you
need more information, I would highly recommend that you view the following screencast(s)
if you haven’t done so:
http://railscasts.com/episodes/96-git-on-rails
http://railscasts.com/episodes/133-capistrano-tasks
There are several other screencasts by the same author as well as others on the web which
go into various degrees of detail.
Good luck,
