A question

Keeping this post short because I have a lot of unpacking to do.

I just have a quick question for you all. Suppose you have to make a ten minute(minumum) documentary, what would it be?

Would you make a documentary on the zoo? Or some historic figure? Or any particular animal? Maybe something more towards your home, like a tour of your city? Or more personal like a self documentary...a 10 minute documentary about your life?

Which seems more appealing?

Keep in mind that its a one person production. So basically, if you are filming yourself, gotta use a tripod.


Help me out here. I need to think of some topics for a documentary.
So far, the options I considered is singapore zoo, singapore on the whole, life of one of the restaurant owners(boring), my life(no clue what to film), tourist destinations of singapore, singapore culture, singapore food(expensive).

What...what do I shoot?
I need something soon so I can finish this nonsense documentary...sure I have 12 weeks to submit it. College hasn't even started yet. Still, the sooner I film and finish, the more time I can spend with my other subjects...this semester is hard. Not "hard" like how I described all the previous ones...this one is ACTUALLY nerve wracking hard!

I have already found out some of my final assignments for this semester...apart from the documentary, I have to make a character in maya. See, that itself sends chills down my spine. To really make me jump in fright, the professor could say, "give the character facial expressions..animate him".

There are two new subjects... ones which I have no clue about, and have no choice but to wait and see what does it consist of... and who is teaching it. Getting a good grade also heavily depends on getting a professor that likes me :P

I have a vague idea that I have flash again(the horror!), and this time its with coding. I might make it through if the flash animations don't include characters. Simple flash I can do...like website intros etc...anything major and its going to be an issue.

Anyway, documentary ideas.... help....please?

Again, I can't stress on this part enough..its a one man production, so please bear that in mind.
Hopefully by next sunday I will have my topic and then I can start on the details.

I would appreciate your input here. Thank you all.
