“Be careful what you ask for: Mr. Scott said on Thursday that submissions totaled 80,000 – or about 4,600 hours of footage. He was expecting about 300 hours’ worth.”

Top down control just wont work on this kind of project. He needs to put all 80,000 submissions up on YouTube or similar--I’m sure Google would love to host it--and have the public tag and rate. In three or six months he can come back and edit the highest rated pieces into a coherent documentary.
