I think we have to talk with Artwork. Maybe they can help us out. I am not familiar creating videos but I have some ideas. One scenario is to make sort clips with random pictures perhaps from fedora events all over the world and in the end a good moto (I think this is good for promoting ambassadors project). An another scenario is to build a video like RH's "Truth Happens" with a sort story (pictures, sound, subtitles) in different languages showing why fedoraproject is so cool, strong and free. Of course we can make something like a documentary about fedoraproject (the operating system or the people or the mechanisms or these combined all together). I suppose I can work and make happen the first scenario but I warn you It will be my first time trying to create a video.
