Life in a Day Project
Why participate in the Life in a Day Project – a very ambitious experiment using user-generated video clips on Google owned YouTube produced by cinematographic icon Sir Ridley Scott and directed by young Oscar-winning Kevin MacDonald?
Of course, with such names cinematic master pieces like “Bladerunner” … and recently “Robin Hood” … and “The Last King of Scotland” come alive.
Magical images! Brilliant sound tracks that give you goosebumps! Magnificent performances with roles played to perfection… and wouldn’t it be something to just try and aspire to be or become part of a project that just has to be superb given the reputation… the authority behind it? Standing for quality, perfection, creativity, vision and simply… Magic?
And all you need is a digital camera and yourself. Your creativity.
A Dream in a perfect world…
A Challenge …
A Day… ONE day … the 24th July 2010… perhaps a historic day to be… history in the making… a buzz to be part of?
Or is the day by itself the ‘buzz’? What you make of the day? And shouldn’t you make each day a buzz? Shouldn’t we?
Life in a Day is as We are…
Life in a Day Project
Why not participate in the Life in a Day Project – a smart and uniquely cash-oriented stroke directed by Internet Advertising monolith Google… pulling the strings of this global orchestra via YouTube with psychological precision… counting on the virtual world’s hunger for a minute of glory… as Internet users from all backgrounds and from anywhere on the planet enthusiastically submit their contributions? Their Life in a Day on 24 July 2010? Their Life live?
And while the string pullers increase their fame, their bank account and their power… what’s ‘in it for them’? The normal people – yet in this case the ‘creators’?
The ‘donors’… ?
The hope of being included.
The honor of being part of something big where the sum of the parts is more. Much more…
Stepping into the legendary glow of the stars.
Being a line in the credits.
And a slight… a very slight chance of receiving possibly one of only 20 tickets to the 2011 Sundance Film Festival when this project – the Life in a Day Documentary – will be officially launched.
But why even ask or question as the Internet is FREE! Isn’t it?
Or is it Curiosity?
What will have become of their ‘life’ within this project? A reflection? A projection? A sound? A thought? A breath? Beyond consideration? A void?
Could it be the need of being part of a grandiose Team that stimulates the best within us to rise and deliver excellence… as well?
But then… where is the balance in the Giving and the Taking?
Is the Internet eating its own children?
Life in a Day – The Buzz
And then… who created the Buzz for Life in a Day in the first place?
The producer Sir Ridley Scott?
The director Kevin MacDonald?
Google?
YouTube?
Life in a Day – Make Your Own Choice
Whether it’s Life in a Day or any day in our lives… what counts is that you are aware and awake like a warrior… and that you make your own choice. For your own reasons. And live it with full Intent… with Passion.
That’s what I do… and I lived pure Magic on that 24th July 2010… Whether it’s part of the ‘Life in a Day Project’ will remain to be seen… but it contained all that makes a day unique: excitement, suspense, surprise, love, laughter and lots of joy! The difference here was: I recorded it.
