A friend showed me this thing "qwiki" today which appears to pull text from
Wikipedia and images from various sources (commons, what have you) to
produce a movie out of any Wikipedia article.
An interesting example:
http://www.qwiki.com/q/#!/Hood_River,_Oregon
I love the concept, and they do announce that the content is licensed under
CC-SA, so assuming someone sets them straight I'm sure they'll be glad to do
the actual attribution that they're required to do. I just think it's a
really neat concept, and it seems to be working quite well.
