Life in a Day Trailer
We reported last week that the premiere of Life in a Day will also coincide with a special interactive Q&A session with Kevin Macdonald, Ridley Scott and the top 26 filmmakers who submitted videos to the project. Users can submit questions to http://www.youtube.com/lifeinaday|YouTube.com/LifeInADay} starting on Monday, January 24.
YouTube joins world famous filmmakers Ridley Scott and Kevin Macdonald in asking people around to world to help them create the first user-generated feature-length documentary film shot on a single day - July 24, 2010. Life in a Day is a historic global film experiment that enlists the global community to capture a moment of their lives on Saturday, July 24 and to upload that footage to YouTube.com/LifeInADay.
Academy Award-winning director Kevin Macdonald (State of Play, The Last King of Scotland, Touching the Void) will direct, bringing together the most compelling footage into a feature-length documentary film. The project will be executive produced by Ridley Scott (Robin Hood, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down) and produced by his company Scott Free Productions. Individuals whose footage makes it into the finished film will be credited as co-directors and 20 of these contributors will be flown to the 2011 Sundance Film Festival for the film's world premiere.
Life in a Day is one of several efforts by YouTube to push the boundaries of music, art, and now film. YouTube Symphony Orchestra and the recently announced YouTube Play partnership with the Guggenheim are examples of the convergence of online video with traditional arts and Life in a Day takes this effort into the cinematic realm. LG Electronics is supporting Life in a Day as a key part of its long-standing Life's Good campaign and to support the creation of quality online content that can be shared and enjoyed by all.
Life in a Day was released July 29th, 2011 and stars Cindy Baer, Moica, Caryn Waechter, Hiroaki Aikawa, Drake Shannon, David Jacques, Bob Liginski Jr., Cec Marquez. The film is directed by Kevin Macdonald, Natalia Andreadis, Joseph Michael.

I read the article, read Kupo's comment, and still don't find this project very interesting. I understand the relevance, maybe even the importance, of the idea, but to be honest, I really don't care... :P
Ridley Scott needs to finish Alien and then move onto The Passage. It's a great f*cking book: think an Oscar worthy I Am Legend... if done correctly of course.

Does anyone actually read anymore?
Follow the link guys, its a enlightening doc*mentary that will premiere on their youtube page. Everyone around the world on the 24th will upload a film doc*menting a day in their life and that footage will be acc*mulated into one. That's a damn interesting creative project if you ask me. This is a film that gives insight into the various cultures and sub-cultures around the world. It's rare to see life through the eyes of diverse individuals. In one single day, we are going to be given insight to a world divided by race, culture, age, social status, and gender.

Uhh... I don't get it. I'm sure the end result will be good, but that was a pathetic trailer.
