This is a GHOP task: http://code.google.com/p/google-highly-open-participation-drupal/issues/...
Drupal is used by a wide variety of high-profile websites because of its flexibility the customization it allows. It is also known for having an active and involved user and developer community. We are always looking for new ways to show others the benefits of Drupal, and a 30 second television commercial style video would be a great way to do this.
Part 1:
Develop and write a script for your commercial. You should include both spoken words (if any) as well as stage directions and a rough outline of what will happen in the commercial. Once you have written your script you should post that as a comment to this issue for feedback.
Part 2:
After receiving feedback from the community, you should make your commercial. You can use whatever video editing tools you have access to create your commercial. It should be focused, to the point, and make the viewer want to download or use Drupal.
Technical specifications:
* Must have a resolution of at least 640 x 480
* Must be in a video format that is an open standard (see the resources section of this task for more information and suggestions)
* Must be licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 license (also known as the CC-BY-SA license). This logo should be added at the end of the commercial and must be present for at least 5 seconds. These 5 seconds are in addition to the 30 second requirement of the commercial.
* The commercial must not contain any material that has not also been released under the creative commons license you are using for your commercial. This includes both audio and video used in the commercial.
* Your commercial may not include any human actors who are identifiable and who are under the age of 18 years old.
Deliverable: The final deliverable for this task is 1) a script for your commercial and 2) your commercial, which meets the technical specifications above. The commercial must not contain any content that you do not have the right to release under the CC-BY-SA license. In addition, if your work includes content other than your own, you must submit a list of source works along with links showing that they are licensed in a way that allows them to be used in your video.
Resources:
* Create your own Drupal Videocast: http://drupal.org/node/62196 (Note: though this page is targeted for a videocast, there is a lot of useful information on the page).
* Creative Commons: http://creativecommons.org/

Here is my video. I beleive it meets all the requirements.

The .mp4 also didn't play using iTunes, but did play with VLC. That's probably OK. YOu might specify this on the handbook page, however.
You also used music and artwork, and you need to specify whether these are your own creation or that they are licensed such that you have the right to use them and to put the derivative work (the commercial) under the CC 2.0 license.
The easiest thing to do would probably be to create a handbook page as a child of http://drupal.org/node/9067 and add the link to the video on blip.tv there, and also give the support that the material used in the video (music, icons, etc.) are licensed so you can use them.
I thought the commercial itself was pretty cool. If you can create the handbook page and get the licensing stuff squared away, I'll give you credit for this.

Handbook page created and I added the links to the resources used.
