Life in a Day
Life in a Day
Life in a Day turns to pure bliss when the sun is shining after icecold, stormy, gloomy winter days. Here’s a republication of my article on 18th July that got lost in the roll-back after migration of this blog to a larger server, a server with higher streaming capacities due to increased work with digital media.
Life in a Day
With the creation of the iconic classic “Bladerunner” – see my film review HERE – Film Director Sir Ridley Scott has moved right to the top of my list of favorites in terms of movie production.
He was far ahead of time then… and he again proves to be a visionary to use the Internet to launch a highly interesting initiative on YouTube: a historic global experiment to create the world’s largest user-generated feature film: a documentary, shot in a single day, by you. On July 24, you have 24 hours to capture a glimpse of your life on camera. The most compelling and distinctive footage will be edited into an experimental documentary film, executive produced by Ridley Scott and directed by Kevin Macdonald.
“No excuses” Scott says…”you’ve all got a digital camera.”
Right.
Now let’s see, how much Life there is in a Day.
Website Publishing
As said above, this was written on 18th July 2010 – meanwhile I got immersed in this exciting documentary on a global scale using YouTube as a vehicle… and it was a unique journey into the Mysteries of a day as you will see in my articles over the next days… I am using Website Publishing to tell my story of that day… additionally to the Video Trilogy I created as a contribution.
So exciting how many people from all around the world were motivated and show a glimpse within their 24 hours of Life in a Day – whether with professional video equipment, a normal standard digital camera (as I did with my simple NIKON Coolpix P90), or their iPhone or even webcam!Something anyone has these days…
“No excuses” said Scott!
2011 Sundance Film Festival
These people were not driven by financial considerations as there’s nothing to be earned – except being a name in the long line of credits of the final product… and the few best of the best being invited to the 2011 Sundance film Festival where the documentary will be launched…
But what a totally amazing Vision and Concept – I just love it and wanted to be part of this!
Movies are like a fever… and having been forced to be ‘abstinent’ for such a long time, it grabbed me again from head to toe!
No music allowed due to copyright issues… just original sounds.
