Life in a day is a film experiment created by YouTube where they ask everybody to record their activity on a single day. On july 24th 2010 thousands of people around the globe started recording their day. At the end of the day, they had over 80 000 submitted video’s. Ridley Scott, known director for movies like Gladiator and Thelma & Louise, was involved and the result is a cinematic experience of our everyday lives around the world.
I have embedded the movie in this post, beware, it’s over an hour long so if you are busy or you’re short on time I’d suggest you have patience and watch it when you’re relaxed and have all the time in the world. It’s quite fascinating to see how all those stories, some only a couple of seconds long, come together in a bigger picture. Just looking at it makes you realise, we are awesome. We are awesome just by being ourselves!
EDIT: blip.tv removed the movie. Can’t seem to find replacement
