Browsing Powers--possible?

One of the folks over on the UK forums has already made a start on this:
Power Showcase
with videos of many of the Brute/Scrapper/Tanker power sets (but not much else yet), just showing the powers.
For anything not covered there, you can certainly create demos that show the power FXs. What I'm lacking on my site are MOV-FX associations and a good directory of exactly what FXs & what MOVs are attached to the specific individual powers. That's on my to-do list, but is still a ways off.
Doing a call out for people to make a short demo of their character with a particular power set and just running through the use of each power might be the easiest solution.

12 blaster powersets
13 controller
15 defender
12 scrapper
13 tank
4 Kheldian
14 brute
14 corruptor
10 dominator
10 mastermind
13 stalker
130 powersets. Each with 9 powers. Plus power pools, temp powers, inherants, and pet's powers. Many are duplicates, though, so let's divide by two. That means we're talking five or six hundred powers to show. If each power takes just five seconds to show, a video would last for half an hour!
All in all, it's easier to just make the character, play to level 6 or so, then make the character again with a costume that fits.
I admit, I was figuring there were probably a finite number "of interest" and that it wouldn't involve going through every one.
If I were the ambitious sort, I'd think about putting screenshots of every one into the paragon wiki, but the thought makes me quail.

Hey guys,
Is there any relatively simple way to browse the visual effects of various powers? I'm a bit strange and try to build my characters around the aesthetics of power effects, so I was wondering if there was some way I could either download or make a demo showcasing various powers in action?
I think, at some point, there was a website that archived demos for download, but I haven't been able to find it. Any help would be much appreciated.
