Ok, so I've now heard of one :D

It's generally pretty unusual as I understand it though, and I get the
impression it's less to do with copyright etc. and more to do with the
production staff having little interest in doing them for people.

I still like the idea of doing some films ourselves which we could all
use. Gavin's GNU/London was a great film, I thought, and we could use a
few more resources like that.

Cheers,
