Hi all. I've spoken further to the guy from the BBC and I have the following bits of info you may find interesting:
* They're happy for generated content to be uploaded to Kaltura under a CC-BY-SA license. * They _may_ be able to provide an ultra-portable HD Flip camera to a few people who'd agreed to film for us, if they haven't got their own cameras. * They cannot pay any fees or travel costs. Again, either get in contact with them via their web-form (link below) or through me.
