Capturing One Day of Your Life

Would you like your chance at being co-director of a film that will be premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival? Well, depending on how interesting and creative your life is on July 24th, you may just have your opportunity.

While jumping around YouTube testing out the new mobile HTML5-compatible version that was launched today, I came across an experiment that YouTube has launched along with executive producer Ridley Scott and Oscar-winning director Kevin Macdonald. The project is being called “Life in a Day” and its goal is to document a single day in the life of the world.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to capture, on video, an aspect of your life on July 24, 2010 and upload it to the Life in a Day YouTube channel before July 31st. If you’re video is selected for the final cut, then you’ll be credited as a co-director and will even have a chance of attending the premier of the Life in a Day film at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival.

The Life in a Day crew has created an introductory video and also have posted the official guidelines.

This is a cool concept and it will be interesting what the response from the community will be. Will you participate? If so, what aspect of your life are you going to capture on July 24th?
