http://www.peekvid.com/

This is suggestion is a bit biased toward the students who were in digital streaming course over the summer, but this is a very straightforward site that offers a large library of (albeit non-licensed) on-demand video content. The overall layout of the site is quite simple and very straightforward and emphasizes little else than the content itself. Individual files aren't organized in a very efficient way, so I think we could improve on something like this. But there are enough ppl in the class with experience in video compression, and I imagine it wouldn't be that hard to figure how to upload video files to a remote site.

The second is a fairly simple but moderately well-organized collection of refugee stories, interviews, and other profiles regarding global refugee plights and survival stories. The flash animation is going to be beyond our level, but I think it incorporates a good use of pics and content that is achievable. I would hope we would be beyond even this level in 5 months' time, but I think it is a safe bet we can accomplish something like this.

You have a good eye for design. The two sites you picked may not be the most complicated but they are particularly well suited for their purposes.
