Here are the answers I have to all of you.
@Noopur: nice points, I am including them all and here is draft for the
community which I will be posting in the respective Wikipedia Village
pumps. (

@Ashwin, the videos you, Nitika and Swaroop are working will be
hardcore outreach videos to teach how to edit Wikipedia.
@Konarak, thanks a lot buddy, let us get the footages and we would
definitely seek your support for the post production. Moover, we would be
more than happy if you lead the event to get the videos done in your place
from the community members.
@Srikanth, the final video will be in Commons and obviously with .ogv
format. But the raw footage will be in .mov/avi/mpeg, they are the formats
used before editing. After editing we will convert the final video into
.ogv.
