The church should create a video similar to those on commoncraft.com (see here for example) to introduce FamilySearch. These commoncraft videos are very entertaining and informative, but most importantly simple. It would be a great way to get people excited about the new FamilySearch website.
I may give this a shot in the next few weeks if I have time.

Church Videos in plain english - thoughts?
OK, I finally got around to making a video --only it's related to Proposition 8 in California, not Family Search. Now that I've made 1 video, I'm thinking of making more. Specifically, I'd like to make a series of videos related to the Mormon church. For example:
Anyone have any thoughts? Concerns? Suggestions?
- The Plan of Salvation in plain english
- The Book of Mormon in plain english
- The Restoration in plain english
- etc
Anyone have any thoughts? Concerns? Suggestions?

Example video
Here's an example of a video I made a few weeks ago. This will give you an idea of the style/format I'm thinking.

I like your idea, sounds like a good way to get a point across. I would like to see something done in the area of Family History like this.

FamilySearch Video
It's been a long time coming, but I finally got around to making a video for FamilySearch. They wanted something aimed at a younger audience (20-30yrs old) which might get them interested in getting started with family history work. This was kind of a departure from my original idea, which was to make a video explaining to members of the church the difference between the new FamilySearch and the old methods of doing family history work (e.g. PAF). But I think this video will grab some eyeballs and hopeful drive some traffic their way.
