Life in a Day – July 24 2010
You’ve got to hand it to Google, they definitely don’t rest on their laurels. They’ve given us google maps, streetview, location-sensitive mobile information, a free email system and access to a ludicrously fast search engine. All for free.
YouTube has clearly been woven into the same cloth since it joined the Google mothership, being innovative through streaming live concerts and creating a virtual orchestras.
They haven’t stopped there, the latest project is called ‘Life in A Day‘ and naturally, it’s quite ambitious.
“Life In A Day is 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.”
Pretty cool huh. Will be very interesting to see what the final product is like, and what proportion of submissions feature kittens or nudity. I feel sorry for whoever has to sort through the rushes…
