Here's my animation. It's 3:05 and covers most of the main devcoin stuff. I'm open to suggestions, so check it out!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbXBHYpFULoThis is just awesome! In my opinion definitely worth the bounty

EDIT: The only small thing I would change is the soundtrack - put in some chilled psytrance instead to really capture the feel of an amazing technological phenomenon

+1 great work Smeagol.
On music, one option might be something under creative commons. e.g. miguel herrero
http://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/6189/miguel-herrero Electro or Ice Beat - just examples as that's the only creative commons artist I can think of and because we're not all going to have same taste on music - it's your work so your choice.
Edit: Didn't make the point I was trying to very well. The artist suggestion wasn't to hijack your video smeagol but just an idea that finding a creative-commons musician, noting that and maybe [us all?] paying him some dvc would serve to highlight the crypto-real world payment link, particularly appropriate in the case of 'free' creations to Devcoin.
