In case anyone is interested, the video is now on Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia_5_million_articles_milesto...
If the 5M milestone happens in November, I'll need to update the video.
I'll share some technical observations on the multimedia mailing list.

Just noting here that this morning the video received clearance from Legal.
Depending on which day we reach 5M, I may need to update some facts in the video. Thinking about which approach I want to take in terms of when the video uploads to Commons.

The video that I did is finished in terms of production, I'm just waiting for Legal sign-offs to happen. But that's a good idea for a future video, perhaps Victor could incorporate that suggestion into his work for #Edit2015 or some future video! Also, I'm planning to include a small number of short interviews with Wikipedians in a video series that I'm hoping to produce about "How to Edit Wikipedia" for GLAMs and education program participants.

Maybe there could be a vox pop type thing where you encourage real wikipedia s to discuss their favourite articles and what wikipedia means to them, then compile it into a short film with a bit of wikipedia history and its evolution towards 5 million articles?

Great.
I'm in conversations with Legal right now about getting the video posted to Commons.
I hope that you'll also link to the community statement: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Five_million_articles

Is there a draft blog post somewhere? If not, we've got a community draft of an announcement on wiki that might be suitable as a blog post; it almost reads like a community press release.
