I know I don't take pictures of people often, and video would be a nice way to do that. That’s actually a great suggestion.

Maybe you could use your camera to capture the people that make all the "things" you find (and we find) interesting. So it could supplement what you are already doing. By capture I don't mean interviewing, more capturing their essence in some cool place. I recommend this style myself (ethereal), but you get a good idea that people are having fun!!! see http://www.virtualcamera.com/samplework/html/orange320.html, I know they have amazing equipment to do that, but you'd be amazed what you can do with your miniDV and a tripod. Also take night material, a lot of your pictures take place during the day ;) (I guess you work at night) and most of all have fun with it!!!

I've seen some crazy antics, running over people/things, and the look on people's faces on whom the doors close is killer. Perhaps you could patch together 30 or 40 second clips (as different lines stagger their last trains) for a total of 2 or 2.5 mins and contrast with morning rush hour as the white gloved station staffs (I'm thinking Hibiya line from Kita Senju or Chuo Express from Hachioji) push people in.

I mean, for pictures it's different, since I don't think videotaping the outside of a building or a store makes for anything very interesting.
