I’ve asked symode09 to apply his video skills to make a short film based on something I saw a while back that would fit nicely with that. The short description would be a stop-motion of an article’s development.
The article I’d like to see this done for is the Anonymous protests (a) because it is OR and (b) because it involved massive global cooperation and coordination. So, Deni, the deadline for that is a few weeks before Wikimania ’08. Earlier if possible so I can get original music for it released under a CC-BY license.
If I recall correctly the article in question started in story prep, so it’d go from there, fake up the “do you want to create this page message?” for the original title, then show the first revision. After that step through each revision, where the article reaches a length that won’t fit on-screen you jump to where a change is being made and show the change being added. As pictures get added, show the picture inserted and perhaps then zoom it up for a second or so. When the video report gets inserted, run it. Finish should be a pause on the last version (hopefully followed by insertion of the Featured Article template – hint, hint). Then fade to the Wikinews logo with space for credits.
For Michael’s suggestion I’ll go and have a look on the Water Cooler shortly – still got about 30 emails to go through this morning.

Hi,
I've been wanting to submit something about Wikinews for Wikimania 2008, maybe
under the header "Wikinews: citizen journalism at the crossroads".
I've posted something on the watercooler some time ago:
http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler#Wikimania_2008 , with no
response. If anyone wants to team up and submit something, let me know.
