48 hour video race ideas????????

once again, another completely new film experience.  that's what this semester in 6x1 has been all about.  i've never done a video race so i'm excited for this new experience.  since this is taking place around the end of the semester, there's definitely the possibility of this being stressful at times, but i'm hoping that it's going to be a fun time.  i'm sure it will be.  as far as ways of capturing footage without using a video/film camera, there seems to be a lot of different ways to do it.  i've just got to figure them out.  in class, we discussed using cell phone cameras.  i'll probably utilize that, but i would like to branch out further and try something else.  in my documentary class, we put a project together just using still photographs.  as i've been working on my found footage assignment, i've been thinking about how i can utilize pre-existing media for the video race.  the internet has so much to offer in terms of video clips, sound clips, and photographs that i think it will be beneficial to use that resource.  right now, my juices aren't flowing as much as i'd like.  over the next month, i'm going to continue to be on the lookout for different ways to go about capturing footage for the project.  i'm really excited to see what the rest of my classmates come up with.  with an assignment like this with such a restriction, it's going to be interesting to see how people go about making their film stand out from everyone else's.  hopefully, my classmates and i can feed off one another to come up with some really good ideas.
