Hi Richard, I think this is a really great idea. I agree this could greatly raise awareness of Org-mode and Org-mode features both for the completely uninitiated and for the seasoned users.
We've been meaning to put together a Babel screencast, but as of yet have not found the time or software. Hopefully this will be the push we need to either put together a screencast or send you a script with the required documentation. I've had luck hosting Emacs screencasts on vimeo in the past, it is high-quality and easy to embed the vimeo-hosted video in other sites (e.g. Worg).
