Are you referring to #6387 or #9817?

#6387 has been discussed several times in the past, but seeing how the
work on the assistant went (its complexity and the results), I'm not
interested in working on this myself as such a video would duplicate too
much of the instructions we already have in the assistant for me to find
it exciting.

#9817 comes from a discussion I had with Nima Fatemi from the Tor
animation about 1.5 year ago. I'm very interested in working on this,
but too me it requires a good share of previous reflection on what need
to be in there, why, whatelse should be changed in the way we present
Tails on the website. That's part of #9814 and on the roadmap for
2016-2017 [1] and, for me, should definitely involve money (as for
example, I'm not sure we have the skill in-house to build such a video).

Still, I clearly won't have time to work on this seriously in 2016 myself.

"Installation videos" sounds more like #6387 and I won't spend time on
this myself.
