This was a very exciting night! To those who do not know, Atlanta is known for its nightlife and luckily I began filming June 24th right around midnight. Two girls and one guy friend of mine went out to a Rooftop Superhero Party on the 12th floor of the Glenn Hotel downtown. I had been excited for this all week and knew some of my friends would be wearing very well made costumes. This is the geek in me and although not a large comic book fan, its fascinating to see a gathering this large of people with the same interests in not only comic books but also dressing up as the characters. We did not stay long as the party was crowded with not only the Superheros in costumes but the regular “douchebag” crowd as well. We went off the a sports bar close by and had some very funny conversations. My friend Kate and I had gotten upset at each other years ago over a friend and this was the first time in nearly five years we got to hang out again. We had a great time that night and reminisced about a lot of things.
The next day my friend would be arriving from Jacksonville, Florida. We see each other once a year and usually do things like play videogames or watch movies, which was about all that happened on Sunday. Most of the filming was done in the morning. We had hoped to get a large breakfast at El Norteno but it was too early and we settled for a small plate of chorizos. I was lucky enough to ask the three questions to a lady who spoke only Spanish and had a translator working there, it definitely made for some interesting footage! Later that night was another big event. The local art theater was playing “Best Worst Movie” and not only was it an honor to have a documentary like this played in our city but also the main star of the movie come in person and introduce it to us, signing autographs and doing a meet and greet before the show. I had seen the movie (Troll 2) being documented a lot of times growing up and to see him in person that day was very cool.

If you have the time please check out my entry for the Life in a Day project, a historic global experiment to create a user-generated feature film shot in a single day. I was in Islamabad at the time and took it upon myself to get the perspectives of the everyman in Islamabad, those people who wouldn't normally have access to the internet or a camcorder and find out what they fear, love, laugh at and keep in their pockets.

The videos I have submitted just simply show a normal day for me. Since we were renovating the house I didn't really go out much. At the beginning you see me after waking up and after working out. Then the video ends with me brushing my teeth and sleeping. It was a pretty average day.

When I woke up on July 24th 2010, I decided to focus the day on my transition to college. I will be a freshman at Columbia College this fall, and since my family had travelled to Denver, Colorado for school clothes, I had decided that the nature of the video would be about my transition to college. It seemed deep and thoughtful, but as the day progressed, I realized that the shopping trip with my family had turned into something else all on it's own. The product of the video shows a family bonding, maybe through the extremely awkward moments, to the observations, or the generally affection towards one another. These moments that were captured on that day came from a real family experience, one that cannot be seen twice. Life In A Day for me, was about my family.
قررت عندما استيقظت في 24 يوليو 2010 ، إلى التركيز اليوم على الانتقال الى بلدي الكلية. وسوف أكون طالبة في كلية كولومبيا في خريف هذا العام ، ومنذ كان قد سافر عائلتي الى دنفر ، كولورادو لملابس المدرسة ، وقررت أن طبيعة شريط الفيديو سيكون حول انتقال بلدي إلى الكلية. وبدا وعميق ومدروس ، ولكن مع تقدم النهار ، وأنا أدرك أن تحولت رحلة تسوق مع عائلتي في كل شيء آخر على نفسه. المنتج من شريط الفيديو يظهر الترابط الأسري ، وربما من خلال لحظات محرجة للغاية ، على الملاحظات ، أو عاطفة عموما تجاه بعضهم البعض. وجاءت هذه اللحظات التي تم القبض في ذلك اليوم من تجربة عائلة حقيقية ، واحد لا يمكن أن ينظر إليه مرتين. حياة في يوم واحد بالنسبة لي ، وكان على وشك عائلتي. 當我醒來，就2010年7月24日，我決定集中一天對我過渡到大學。我將在哥倫比亞大學一年級今年秋季，因為我的家人已經前往丹佛，科羅拉多州上學穿的衣服，我已決定，性質，視頻過渡將是我的大學。看來深周到，但一天的進展，我意識到，我的家庭購物之旅變成了別的東西都在它自己的。該產品的視頻顯示了親情，也許通過極為尷尬的時刻，意見，或對彼此的感情一般。這些被抓獲的時刻，當天來自一個真正的家庭經驗，也無法看到兩次。生活中的一個節對我來說，是對我的家人。 Toen ik wakker werd op 24 juli 2010, besloot ik om de dag te concentreren op mijn overgang naar de universiteit. Ik zal een eerstejaars aan het Columbia College worden dit najaar, en aangezien mijn familie had een reis naar Denver, Colorado kleren voor school, had ik besloten dat de aard van het video zou worden over mijn overstap naar de universiteit. Het leek diep en attent, maar naarmate de dag vorderde, realiseerde ik me dat het winkelen met mijn familie was veranderd in iets anders allemaal weer op z'n eigen. Het product van de video toont een gezin binding, misschien door de extreem lastige momenten, bij de opmerkingen, of de algemeen affectie naar elkaar. Deze momenten die gevangen zijn op die dag kwam uit een echte familie-ervaring, een die niet twee keer kan worden gezien. Life In A Day voor mij, was over mijn familie. Lorsque je me suis réveillé le 24 Juillet 2010, j'ai décidé de concentrer le jour de mon passage au collège. Je serai un freshman à l'Université de Columbia, cet automne, et depuis ma famille s'était rendu à Denver, au Colorado, pour les vêtements de l'école, j'avais décidé que la nature de la vidéo serait au sujet de mon passage au collège. Il semblait profonde et réfléchie, mais comme la journée avançait, je me suis aperçu que le shopping avec ma famille s'était transformé en quelque chose d'autre tout sur son propre. Le produit de la vidéo montre un collage de la famille, peut-être par moments très difficiles, les observations, ou de l'affection généralement un vers l'autre. Ces moments qui ont été capturés ce jour-là vient d'une expérience vraie famille, celle qui ne peut pas être vu deux fois. Life In A Day pour moi, était de ma famille. 私は7月2010年24目が覚めた、私は一日大学に私の移行に焦点を当てることにした。私はコロンビアカレッジで1年生はこの秋、されると私の家族は、コロラド州デンバーには、学校服の旅以来、私はビデオの自然が大学に私の移行についてすることに決めた。それは深い思いやりが、一日が進んでいた、私は私の家族と一緒に買い物旅行は何か他のすべてのその上になっていた実現した独自のです。ビデオの製品は非常に気まずい瞬間かもしれないから、観察、または1つの別の方一般的に愛情、家族の結合を示しています。その日に捕獲されたこれらの瞬間は本当の家族の経験、2回見ることができないからだ。人生は私の日で、私の家族についてでした。 Cuando me desperté el 24 de julio de 2010, decidí enfocar el día en que mi transición a la universidad.

Parecía profundo y reflexivo, pero a medida que avanzaba el día, me di cuenta de que el viaje de compras con mi familia se había convertido en algo más todo en él es poseer. El producto del video muestra a una vinculación de la familia, tal vez a través de los momentos extremadamente difíciles, a las observaciones, o el afecto en general, todos a una.

"Life in a Day" Video Submission of Two Ballroom Dancers from a small lakeside city in Ontario, Canada on Saturday, July 24th, 2010.
Part 1 of 5. The day begins at 8:21 a.m. with a daily ritual of opening up blinds and looking at the bird feeders in the backyard. The sun is shining this morning. The mood, however, is more ""reflective"" as Robert Tang scans a series of dance photographs taken at different moments in time.
Part 2 of 5. The time now is 9:38 a.m. The morning ritual continues with getting out the laptop, waiting for it to warm up, and logging into a social networking website. It's one week after an event that Robert & Beverley had attended, and Robert looks back at the video that has been taken of his and his wife's Ballroom Dancing at the waterfront. That day, there were storms in the afternoon, but miraculously, the weather cleared in the evening. Today, one of their friends are taking them out for dinner at a restaurant close to their home. Robert and Beverley prepare for their visit with the typical household rituals of vacuuming the house, setting up snacks, and cleaning the toilet. The weather outside is looking ""iffy"" as rain clouds start appearing. An unusual number of birds come and go. The doorbell rings...
Part 3 of 5. The time is 3:32 p.m. Robert & Beverley's dance friends have arrived. Outside, gold finches and a sparrow feed on the bird feeder. It is drizzling with rain, so they are unable to sit outside as Robert & Beverley had hoped. The original plan was that after snacks, they would take Robert & Beverley out for dinner at a restaurant in nearby Jordan, Ontario. Their friends, however, announce a ""surprise"" for them. They then head off to the restaurant, engaged in conversation. The clouds look ominous but the rain has temporarily stopped.
Part 4 of 5. After dinner, the friends wait in the lobby area of the restaurant as it is raining outside. After a few minutes, however, the rain clears just enough that they can go into the car. The friends continue on their journey, engaged in more conversation. They talk about how the Niagara area had experienced drought a number of years ago. They take an unexpected detour, but find their way again. The clouds initially looked very omininous but clears again. When they arrive at Niagara Falls, the video camera runs out of battery power. But they have a digital camera and were able to capture the almost full Moon that appears in the sky, as well as a few other ""surprises"".
Part 5 of 5. Upon returning home, Robert picks up his mother's voice mail and returns her call. They engage in deep conversation. The moon is shining brightly outside.
As midnight approaches, Robert and Beverley answer the questions posed by Kevin Macdonald:
""What do you love?"" [Each other. And Dancing - it feels like ""Flying"". I guess that explains our pre-occupation with watching birds. On filming day, there was an unexpected number of birds dropping by - Cardinals, Blue Jays along with Golden Finches, Sparrows, and Crows.]
""What do you fear most in your life today?"" [That the people you care about - friends and especially family - live for a long time and do not suffer.]
""What makes you laugh?"" [Some of Life's unexpected twists and turns. Like our video camera running out of battery power during this filming!]
""What is in your pocket?"" [See video.]
And so ends our ""life in a day"" on Saturday, July 24th, 2010. Did anyone else experience the beauty of Moon in the evening in your part of the world?

Hey I am 19 years old, live in Richmond, Melbourne, Australia. I love life & am trying to do as many things possible before I die. I normally dont go on YouTube and have only recently added videos. All my videos were made on july 24th 2010 for day in a life, I thought why not enter may as well was fun. what you see is what you get, I am just your average 19 year old boy, or am I?
The video is of me showing you what its like for me going to work everyday I work in South Yarra which is only 1 suburb over from my house in Richmond, as you will see I don't rely on cars to get where I want to go it takes me only a few short minutes to get to South Yarra on the train, trains leave to go to South Yarra at least every 5 minutes. You might find this interesting as it shows of some of Melbourne's graffiti & art work as well of a bit of chapel street

This is my edited version of my Life In A Day video for general public viewing. The original submitted footage to the Life In A Day channel is unedited containing no music or overlay as required.
So my name is Curtis and this video really depicts my Life In A Day, I go to bed late, wake up late, get ready then take the train to wherever I need to go. I spend the day appreciating London, the city I love. Enjoying street performers, scenery, cultural and historical landmarks, and the company of friends.
This video also ventures back into my past as I visit the area where I grew up as a kid, which eventually leads to me being cheesy and pouring my heart out in a shopping centre car park. There I answer the question what do I love the most, and thereafter I show you what's in my pockets.
So please enjoy my day! I know I did!

The video is pretty much a depiction of one day in my life. Not a typical day as it involves a visit to the parents and a birthday party. "Life in a Day" director Kevin MacDonald wanted us to answer a few questions, which I tried to incorporate into the presentation of my day. What I love and what I fear were answered when I visited my parents where I explained my love of family and the fear of losing them. What made me happy was seeing other people happy, which I found in a children's birthday party.

Life In A Day... of Me: Healing the World! By Mpowerall
Youtube user: mpowerall | Web site Age: 48, American Filmed: United States of America, USA, Teaneck, NJ & Dingman's Ferry, PA Film language: English Film URL at Youtube
This is my 3 PART film submission for the "LIFE IN A DAY FILM PROJECT"!
Pt. 1: My “day” starts -life as usual- after midnight - a continuation of my prior day! In my “usual” comedic fashion, I sing (and dance) to the “LIFE IN A DAY…OF ME” song I wrote to “introduce” “me” and “my film”! After telling everyone “who “me” is”, I continue working on a variety of my Motivational MPower Productions Projects – songs, videos, educational curricula, film treatments, books etc., ALL of which are designed to Empower our Youth, help them step into their greatness, live their “championship dreams” & fulfill their divine destiny! My ultimate passion and goal is to help promote World Love, Peace & Unity and make the World a better place for ALL people!
Pt. 2: I’m in Dingman’s Ferry, PA, with beautiful Nature as my “backdrop” and answer two of Kevin’s Questions: Q.1 -“WHAT DO I LOVE” – which in summary is helping people and seeing ALL people happy & “living” their dreams. Q.2-“WHAT’S IN MY POCKET(BOOK)” – most important are tools to help me & keep me “ready” for any opportunity to “inspire”, “network” & “share” my “gifts” & work, like my “flash drive” with my motivational projects, voice recorder to capture any “inspirations” etc., and my two lists: 1) LEGENDARY HUMANITARIANS who keep me inspired and 2) MY “WISH” LIST OF PEOPLE I “AM” GOING TO WORK WITH (I’m a Motivational Speaker so present tense is always spoken as it “brings” desires to “current” reality) who “are” helping me move my Mission forward to affect World Love, Peace & Unity!
Pt.3: I wake up “continuing” my work on my Motivational Projects! Then I give the World a “glimpse” of my neighborhood on what is a “beautiful hot sunny day” in a New Jersey Suburb of the New York City Area!!! Next, I arrive with friends in Dingman’s Ferry, PA to attend a Summer Barbecue that other friends are hosting. I give a breathtaking view of the Lake outside this beautiful home and then “dip” into the lovely “forest” area to answer Kevin’s remaining two Questions: Q.3) WHAT MAKES ME LAUGH which includes “people laughing and happy” and Funny Humanitarian people like Ellen Degeneres & Will Smith, and Q.4) WHAT DO I FEAR THE MOST which is mainly “not being in time with my Humanitarian Mission” hence potentially missing an opportunity to help someone who is suffering or in need.
NOTE: My “LIFE IN A DAY” Submission is a Great Story & Film because MY LIFE MISSION & DAILY PRACTICE can be summarized by 2 Gandhi quotes: “Be the change you want to see in the world” AND “A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history”. I hope my Film is seen by Everyone & encourages ALL to join me & become “a determined spirit” for Positive World Change!!! TOGETHER WE CAN HELP MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE FOR ALL PEOPLE!!!

While researching lifeinaday.tv appearence on Google, I noticed sad example (*) illustrating how youtube partners (i.e. those who make money by displaying Google AdSense ads on their videos and youtube pages), are gambling with video titles, tags and video description. This means that search engines deliver faked results and therefore push away Life in a Day videos of ordinary youtubers out of reach by a loyal web surfer. Watch my three-minute-long video for details, and follow this link for an example.
Most sad that this youtube channel poses itself as "Occupation:Full-time YouTube Partner 24/7". One may wonder: Are all youtube partners behaving alike?

Hello, my name is Vigo and I'm an addict.Isn't that the waythat the Mutual Aid session starts? I'm just as much anonymous as you are.Also that dependent.Sorry, but that is not one of thosegrievous stories about some drug addict.I won't touch you with my tragic destiny.Nor will I give my bank accountthat you can fill with tears in your eyes.No, my vice is not a vice.My dependence is the same as yours.Just like Blanche DuBois says:Whoever you are, I have always dependedon the kindness of strangers.It doesn't matter if I know you or I don't.Sometimes it is not even necessaryfor you to cross my way.To be my neighbor, my friend, my lover…or simply an acquaintant.
We all depend on the slightest things.On the personwho sells you coffee in the bistro.On the supplier who delivers it to him.The electricity in the coffeemaker.Water, trade license…The peoplewho are responsible for all of that -All of them dependent on the moodof mother-in-law`s or the faithful wife…The cry of the children,asking permission to go on excursion.The land lord scrounging his leaseor funds for consecutive repair.The payment of taxes.The waiting in lines.The driverwho's stopped at the green light.Or simply the sound of the alarm,smugingly send us to work.Where there is a boss and a secretary.With another boss above,but with an assistant.Who also have children,or maybe he is lonely…And all you want is a cup of coffeein the nice summer afternoonin the drowsy park nearby.We are all dependent.Like children.They just seem more dependent than us.They are simply smaller.They look fragile.Vulnerable.Just like the old people are,or delicate women...
Somehow you always get amazed,when a big man collapses.And if it's someone close,you get scared.As if the securityin your entire world is vanished.Then you seek for a new support.A new dependence.Nothing of this is a vice.It's in your human nature,same as you feel power of thirst,hunger…The same way you cry or laugh.Breathe…The need to touch or be touched.To be praised.To be strong.Independent man or a woman…Proud of that.Of the achieved… Financially free.Sexually free.Armed.Dependent on their opponentor the approving eyes of the crowd.Just like governments,states…Which understand sooner or later, that there is always more powerful,more able… Or just in a better position.While watching the sunsetwe feel a bit of sadness.And loneliness.Nostalgia…Always looking at the dark side of life.As if a doom is hanging above us.Since the creation of the world -it has always been cursedby an epic catastrophe.A catastrophe which will bring the end.
All the humankind,all its culture and way of life,every achievement or discovery -cradled with fear.Fear that we lose.That something is leaving…And cannot be brought back.Accumulations records, filed with relentless accuracyof the permanent time that we determine.I have the same fears.I'm dependent!Hell - the biggest figuresin human history had those too.But they have known, that after the sunsetthe world does not end up, it sails to its new beginning.

This is my film submission for the upcoming film "Life In A Day" filmed on July 24, 2010. This particular day was one day after two of my friends were married to each other at Mt Washington, British Columbia, Vancouver Island, Canada. Three of my friends and I climbed to the top of Mt Washington and then took the lift down. On our adventure we encountered some mountain bikers, some birds that would eat out of our hands, some snow, we took a few smoke breaks, we encountered some burnt spots. I almost gave up at one point but I pushed on and we made it to the top of the mountain where there was a breath taking 360 degree mountain view of one of the most spectacular places on earth. We found an inukshuk sanctuary and we even spotted a U.F.O. that we watched until we got bored (we see a lot of U.F.O's over Vancouver Island although this was unlike any we have seen) And this is just a small sample of the wonders we beheld. Finally we took the lift down and just enjoyed the spectacular view. A perfect day!. So relax, roll one up and come for a hike with us to the top of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada and see what "Life In A Day" looks like for some of us Canadians. Thanks for watching.
Note: the film makers wanted raw footage so that is what this is. I originally filmed in HD but I can't seem to export the footage in full HD quality. I think I have some great shots here and with a little editing, some music and maybe some good quotes I feel that this would make a compelling contribution to the film ""Life In A Day""

We started filming shortly after midnight on July 24th 2010. Our goal was simply to be ourselves and to refrain from editing. The film began with some beers and an acoustic guitar jam session in celebration of my 23rd birthday.
The next day, my parents visited and treated me to a special birthday lunch. I was slightly embarrassed when the entire restaurant sang happy birthday. After lunch, we began building camera mounts and planning angles for the climax of our film.
Armed with high definition cameras and bicycles, we hit the streets of downtown Ottawa to deliver our unique point of view to you. From Rideau Street to Parliament, to Major's Hill Park and Gatineau. We learned that you don't necessarily need an engine to get around the city.
We captured this beautiful and historic area like never before. Unique and creative camera angles combined with stunning wide angle HD quality will make you feel like your right there with us.
Thank you for the opportunity to partake in this amazing film.We learned the true value of being yourself and that sometimes, editing isn't necessary."

I think this project was great, I mean this date is just one day where anyone could have filmed but just on this one day. It could of been someones wedding day or someones birthday, someone leaving home to go to college, or just a normal day. Its amazing to see how every person has a different everyday then anyone else. none is alike and thats what makes this film so unique. showing everyone in one BIG film that there are soo many things going around the world and a percise moment. its hard to wrap your brain around it.

Projecting Ridley Scott words I come to realise that he should take his own 24/7 personal videos (please watch the video below for a quote by Mr.Scott):
As Project Terms did not allow you to submit your own videos, I invite you to share them at lifeinday.tv . This is youtube users' community generated nonprofit Film Festival, and we are open for your submissions, too. There is no deadline. I realise you are so busy, and there is a chance you did not upload your video(s) by July 31, 2010. An exception for you is in place in case you did not have a chance to upload your 24/7 videos yet: please upload your videos to youtube any time, and then submit it to lifeinaday.tv, using the provided form. Filming day of 24/7/2010 remains solid, however.

I'm a typical Filipino-American teenager wishing to show you the type of love my family has.
This is footage of my family going on a road trip to Las Vegas on July 24, 2010... and I tried to capture the moments that made me laugh and smile. I believe family time should include traveling together and going sight-seeing together, to experience places and moments together, to have inside jokes with each other...
I used to hate going to Las Vegas because there was nothing to do for someone my age, but with my cousins, I guess nothing is boring. Spending a day, walking around some parts of Las Vegas with my younger cousins... it's just something so simple, but something meaningful.
And so with this, I hope that you may believe in family love...
Unfortunately I could not make this video as cinematic as I had once hoped it to be, but it's the meaning and not the looks that count, right?

Living in the town of Tucson Arizona is a far cry different than living in Iowa. Drive by shootings are the norm here on a daily basis. The scenery here is by far more epic than the hillsides of corn and grass found in the Midwest. Don't get me wrong, I love living here but at times I definitely think that I'd rather not be here when things that may kill me happen just a few hundred yards from my front door.

This is my Life in a Day submission. In this part I get some shots of me working. And I take a walk outside. And I also answer one of the questions. Life In A Day is a historic global experiment to create a user-generated feature film shot in a single day. On July 24, you had 24 hours to capture a glimpse of your life on camera. The most compelling and distinctive footage will be edited into a feature film, produced by Ridley Scott and directed by Kevin Macdonald.

This is a short film compiling all of my activities on July 24th, 2010. At the time of filming I was on a family vacation to the beach in our home state. This was our first family vacation of the year and on this Saturday we spent several hours sitting on the beach and playing in the water, and then later that evening we headed into town and ate at a popular restaurant and walked around the shops in the area. After returning to our hotel, we spent the last few minutes of our day walking the beach at night and enjoying nature and the beauty of the ocean lit by the moonlight.

24th of July was fun. I was excited for the project and curious of what the day would bring. I met a friend of mine in a park. This is the Part 2 playlist of my submitted videos for the project since embedded playlists can show up to 50 videos only.
In second part of my footage, one may watch: a traditional turkish meal called 'cig kofte', a woman exercising in a park women chatting in balcony beautiful dogs enjoying the park some turkish newspapers us chatting, laughing :)
...and more. Enjoy!

24th of July was fun. I was excited for the project and curious of what the day would bring. I met a friend of mine in a park. Then we spent most of our time in parks, with dogs mostly. Segmenler park is definitely a great spot to be during sunset in Ankara. I shot until two batteries were out.
I used a sony hx5v camera in 1080p mp4 mode. This playlist includes most of my footage of that day in many seperate videos. I uploaded the original .mp4 files without any editing or joining together.
Greetings from Ankara! Hope you'll enjoy it! Peace!

Close Friends have gathered together to share our love for Rubix cubing. We solve them in under 20 seconds, while we tease and poke fun at each other. It is, of course, in good sport as we observe each other progress in our timing and fine-tune our skills.
We sit in the kitchen of the 2 bedroom apartment as we solve each cube while we share our genuine and sentimental friendship.

This film is about a city rhythm and reality in another region of the world. Being anybody; local, foreign or just visitor it's a random vision of a messy and charming citylife.

My movie tells about the loneliness of a man who lives at nights. His new day starts at midnight. He roams the streets of his city making friends of shopwindow dummies. They are not less friendly to him than the living... except the animals. He blends in and parties the night away in his Platonic manner. He feels old like the vine which he thinks it's a better way of existance yet he is haunted by 'time' itself. As the morning breaks he finds himself a new companion to kill the 'night' inside him.
Hello, All. I am Alex Kudinov-Sheffer, an ordinary man of 44. This week I started this independent web site www.lifeinaday.tv (also available at lifeinaday.info), where each of us, ordinary YouTubers, can publish his or her own Life in Day documentary film. I got this idea a week ago, and on August 3 registered this domain – 40$ was quite an investment, especially because all I thought about is a nonprofit youtube user initiative serving all those who contributed their videos to Official Life in a Day by YouTube, and aiming to make my (and yours) footage message bold. Why?
Remember Life in a Day was called a global experiment. As a scientist (you can screen my UK Parliament written evidence on Science Publication as an example of my advocacy for Public Interest in Science), I feel I am a project participant, not the experimental subject, a kind of lab rat. There were certain Official project rules that I could not accept. My life is about music, I create it daily. So, my videos would unlikely appear in the final product. That’s not a point for me to be in the film by Kevin MacDonald, however: I have my own life, feelings, luckly no fears, and I would like to present my all 29 videos of my Life in a Day in a convenient way, so, it is easily discovered by anyone on the net. This is why I assembled all 29 videos in a YouTube playlist, and embedded it as my own documentary at lifeinaday.tv.
Why shooting text script (or a playscreen, a kind of post-shooting scenario) of your film is so important?
What is critical is to provide text to this film. Computers have no ability to extract emotions and feelings from videos, so, it is my responsibility to provide an interesting text summary of what is my film about, so, this info is properly indexed by search engines and can be researched and discovered by others.
I welcome you to join me, and make your video additionally available at lifeinaday.tv . I encourage you to make your own film of several videos uploaded by you, or a documentary film of your video(s) combined with videos by your friends in a playlist, so, it can be played as a film. It can be your family or a village, or a documentary by those sharing hobby or a lifestyle. I wish this web site becomes our own, user generated Life in a Day Film Festival, where a director and a producer of his or her own film is You, Your majesty YouTube user.
2 min summary of this video is available at this link
It took about 350 words to tell you the above, the average word count I wish we use for shooting script text. I will now try to make my own screenplay for what is already included in my own motion-picture production (done two hours later, check it out here).
And... YES, I’ll tell this once again: I aim to expand Official Project visibility, make it message bold while helping all of us to get to another level of creativity. Check it out. lifeinaday.tv
And... NO, you don't have to upload anything else to YouTube or anywhere else. You already uploaded your videos to YouTube, all you need is just to use tools, available at YouTube to broadcast your film here. Upon your submission of the form your video or a complete film of several videos (as a youtube playlist) will be embedded at www.lifeinaday.tv and will have its' own publication page that you can additionally share with family and friends, and have moderated (as a measure of spam protection) discussion without a need to register or log in.
I invite you to join me and other ordinary YouTubers for our own Life in a Day Film Festival!

This is a Life in a Day from Holy Land of Israel. All 29 videos are ...a kind of my talk with a director Kevin MacDonald, who is operating my VGA resolution digital camera, and kindly tolerated my break of the YouTube Life in a Day project no music rule: my life in a day (i call it a day in life) is all about my love to a woman, my and her children and my family, mom & dad (who are sadly no longer with us), brothers and sister, delivered through music, which is solely my hobby sound production right at home.
I learned of this Global filming day just after I awaked at noon on Saturday, July 24, 2010. Yes, I noticed few days before a very special YouTube logo with days counting down, but I was lazy to click on it and check it out in advance. I think this is good, as I did not plan this filming day in advance, and took remaining 10 hours to show my love to those few of Planet Earth who I love. In fact, my plan for that day was to deliver similar love message through publishing several publications of song lyrics at my musical poetry magazine Marina the Muze. As there was an apparent need for action (rather then quite sitting at the computer screen) I decided to talk to Kevin, answered his questions, talked on love, honesty, and other issues, mentioned a bit on a corruption in Science and a no-choelsterol hysteria. At 6pm I went with my daughter to a theater; when I returned I prepeared two more songs music, had a vocal session with a draft recording ready 2 minutes before midnight.
Sorry for no jeans at most of videos, it was a hot summer day, and you know, ... Kevin MacDonald, a director and my camera man asked me to be natural )))

Sad exampleis available to illustrate how youtube partner (partners are those who make money by displaying Google AdSense ads on their videos and youtube pages), is gambling with video titles, tags and video description, so search engines deliver faked results and therefore push away Life in a Day videos by ordinary Youtubers out of reach by a loyal web surfer.
