Life in a Day - Closing Date!

The submission period is over now and the YouTube community has calmed.  Good luck to Kevin Macdonald for directing this soon to be masterpiece!  If any of my footage makes the cut then that would be great.  If not, then I'm still pleased that I got to participate in this world-wide event!

Life In A Day Update

It's been a busy couple of days for me, so I am just now finishing Uploading all my footage filmed on July 24. 

I only have access to iMovie on my laptop, so that is what I'm using to edit.  I really like iMovie though. :)

I had soooo much footage that it took almost 2 hours to download all my videos onto my computer, import all the video files into iMovie, and save.

Tomorrow I will start editing it all.  And by the 29th I'll submit it.  The deadline is July 31.

When I'm finished and I've submitted the video to Life In A Day, I'll also put it up on my Youtube account.

Life In A Day

ONE WORLD * 24 HOURS * 6 BILLION PERSPECTIVES

Life In A Day is a historic global experiment to create a user-generated feature film, 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, produced by Ridley Scott and directed by Kevin Macdonald.

The film will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2011 and will be available right here on YouTube. If your footage makes it into the finished film, you’ll be credited as a co-director and you could be one of 20 contributors brought to Sundance to celebrate with Kevin Macdonald.

Step One
FILM YOUR DAY
Film a moment, or the moments, that make up your day, or the day of someone you know. Whether mundane or extraordinary, serious or playful, you can shoot multiple videos or just one. You might record a sunrise, your commute to work, your family meal, an afternoon prayer.
You decide.

Step Two
ANSWER KEVIN’S QUESTIONS
If you wish, you can shoot an additional video answering one or all of these questions to help complete Kevin’s vision for the film.
  • What do you love?
  • What do you fear?
  • What makes you laugh?
  • What’s in your pocket? Is there a story behind any of the objects?
Step Three
UPLOAD YOUR VIDEOS
Upload your videos between July 24 and July 31 by clicking on the “Submit” tab, which will appear on the Life in a Day channel on July 24, and following the instructions.
