    NOTE: I no longer need any help with this, I have an idea.

    I have got until Friday to write my script for my Brony Documentary. Well it's not a documentary, It will now be classified a news story, by suggestion of my lecturer after the My Little Pony Presentation I did in front of my class.

    I need ideas.

    I am struggling to think of how I will make a news story about bronies with nothing but a Fluttershy T-shirt and a Local Brony with as far as I know no MLP merchandise at all.

    I thought after my lecturer gave me permission is that if any of you could film your MLP toys, clothing and others and send me the video I could find some way to use it in the video. But it will need to be done in a professional matter. No handheld shaky cameras. Good Lighting.

    I thought about using green screen as a way of being able to film myself in locations that aren't generic and nothing to do with ponies.

    Or maybe I should just film in a generic place and only film bronies playing minecraft and doing mundane things as a way to say bronies are like anyone else.

    So yeah to start with please send me if you can videos of your MLP collection if you have any. Megaupload would be the best way to do this, since all Youtube downloaders have stopped working for me. Also If I could get some interviews using your own camera, that would help to. Please let me know if you can do this. Only problem is you will have to let me dictate exactly how you film yourself, due to film techniques I have to demonstrate to pass my assessment. So don't just film yourself right now, contact me, tell me you have a decent camera 480p minimum and that you are willing to be a part of it. All the filming will have to be done within the next 5 weeks. I also reserve the right to choose not to use the footage you film.

    Please tell me if you are on board so I can get an evaluation of the resources at my disposal and then write my script based on that.

    For the most part I plan to just condense the information provided in my presentation for the script.

    How well I write this script will determine what will be made between the following scenarios.

    3 Minute Publically aired news story.
    1 Minute Publically aired news story.
    or 1 minute unaired news story.

    Okay no one wanted to or was able to help.
    But it's okay because I have come up with a good idea as to how I can make this with the limited resources I have.

    I don't need any videos or interviews from any of you. I think the one local brony will be enough. I may even have myself interviewed.

    Sorry for not noticing you thread...
    But you only waited for one day, you know?
    I'd be happy to help, if you needed.

    I dont have pony merch yet.. I'm too new a fan, and I live in the hickeys without a driver's licence.
    But I'm going to make a pony shirt for my first day at school... and my laptop has a webcam and mic. (my dad also has microphones)

    I would help, but my merch is not here, besides my Derpy and Vinyl Scratch.

    That and I don't have any actual recording device besides my phone which is stuck at 240p.

    Don't have access to my other camera and etc...

    Sorry for not much assistance.
