Haven't looked to see how good those are yet though :) http://www.projectforawesome.com/charity/wikimedia-foundation is a link for all 3.I traditionally send an email to staff every year about this, I think it's an awesome project and they always make some good videos. If you're interested in old ones see below :)Last years' videos:
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDQkRv7ohVA [long, and really not a very good video, but adorable from someone who clearly doesn't do this very often]
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFaFjfRHXzU [another, shorter, youtuber video]
A couple older ones (there are others you can see elsewhere if you search around)
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAkHNhIwcTg [one of the 2012 videos]
- My favorite, from a couple years ago and a guy who also made (doesn't much anymore) a bunch of cool songs based on WP articles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFpPpMpopV8
