Hi, Andrew:
This sounds great - happy to help in really any way!
Intelligent Television - a NY prodco - has shot some original hi-def video for Wikipedia - footage in the classroom of linear algebra taught to camera by Gil Strang at MIT last year; footage of Richard Stallman this year explaining F/LOSS direct to camera - and edited video and WP articles together with MIT Open Courseware and WP's SJ Klein to illustrate some of Newton's principles of physics as taught by popular MIT prof Walter Lewin. Also to advance some of the rights clearance, citation, & attribution best practices for video and free/open video now emerging.
See also the advances - slow & chelonian as they may be - of the new UK-gov't-funded citations working group described by the British Library yesterday at the bottom of this message.
<<Audiovisual Citation: Guidelines for referencing sound and moving image resources
Despite the exponential increase in the use of audiovisual material in teaching, learning and research in higher and further education, existing guidelines for the referencing of sound and moving image are insufficient as they are based on standards developed for the written word. This has the effect of discouraging the citing of sound and moving image, as well as creating barriers in its discovery, use and re-use.
In 2011, the British Universities Film & Video Council (BUFVC) established a citation working group comprised of academics, researchers, journal editors, archivists and representatives from the British Library to address this key issue. Since 2012 this ground-breaking work has been incorporated into the BUFVC Shared Services Project, funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE).
The guidelines will cover: film, television programmes, radio programmes, audio recordings, DVD extras including interviews and commentaries, clips, trailers, adverts, idents, stings, non-broadcast material (catalogued and not catalogued), podcasts, vodcasts and DVD study materials.
The guidelines have been shaped by the diversity of sound and moving image materials requiring citation and will be open to future updates to ensure they effectively respond to advances in technology, development of new media platforms and the needs of the user.
The citation standards will be robustly tested prior to publication and will be applicable to a wide range of different users across all disciplines.
Timescale
The citation guidelines for sound
and moving image will be
published in March 2013 and reviewed periodically.

Expert quote
". . . there is not yet a uniform
set of citation standards in education for quoting and referencing either moving
images or recorded sound. For academics to gain greater confidence in the use of
moving image and sound content in research and
publication, they
will require the standardisation of citation and the assurance that collections
will hold material and sustain collections on the same basis as print
material."
