Life can change in seconds, hours, or on a single day. My life changed again on July 24th, 2010, which just happened to be the day of the "Life in a Day" film project. I found out about the project early that morning, almost last minute in my mind. I live in NYC, but was in North Carolina visiting my ex boyfriend, who I truly thought wanted to build a real friendship after two years of not speaking to each other. There are just some people you don't want to lose out of your life, and he was one of those people. But you can't hold on to someone who isn't holding on to you. It was heartbreaking to realize that for whatever reason, he couldn't - or wouldn't - act as a real friend, and in that realization I knew that I could no longer let him be in my life. Knowing that I would have to say goodbye to him once again, was heartbreaking, even though I knew it was for the best. And that realization only added fuel to the fire of my deepest fear of being insignificant, irrelevant, and ultimately unloved. Yet despite the sadness of that day, and the days after it, and despite that fear I'll always have to stare down, I do find joy and laughter in the smallest things, especially in the innocence of children, who still believe that the world is a magical place.

Passing Through, Life in a day Canada

Passing Through
By RICPind

Youtube user: RICPind | web site
Age: ?, Canadian
Canada, Hamilton, Burlington
Film language: English
Film URL at Youtube



In a small backyard, connected in the distance to many others, a woman walks through her lush garden. On this particular morning, in a suburban neighbourhood, the overcast sky predicts rain. Capturing uneventful scenes such as these, the film contemplates the significance of these simple, everyday moments. With an aim to embrace whatever circumstances the day presented, while going about doing necessary tasks and errands, the camera enters one person’s world and reveals something of what it means to be. Listening in and watching clients at a hair salon, the camera follows a woman through the back door, downstairs to an alleyway and a glimpse into a barbershop. A visit with two elderly sisters in a nursing home reveals a space full of memories and physical limitations.

The circumstances of this day, in this particular place, involved a lot of rain. The film focuses on visual and aural images of rain pouring down on cars, puddles, parking lots, on gardens and lawns. The ominous clouds in the distance don’t stop a group of children from enjoying the downpour while playing in a wading pool. The commotion of the rain has people rushing into a grocery store. The calm when it subsides shows order restored. After the rain, rabbits scurry across a lawn, birds sing and more weeding needs to be done. The same yard starts to darken, doors slam shut as the day nears an end. Somewhere else a new day is about to begin or is mid-way through, but on this street, a full moon has risen in the sky as cars drive past silent houses.

Life In A Day - Fear of Dogs

Film language: English

I made this film to reflect elements of my personality, my love for films and to acknowledge all families before my Wedding on the 28th August 2010. I did eventually run out of time and didn't get chance to complete my vision, which would have been dramatisation of meeting my spirit guide Freddie, who does at least get a mention. Yes, I admit I broke some of the rules, but I had so much fun making this film, I couldn't break the ride. I hope you like it.

People think of Hong Kong as a big city with tall buildings, big crowds, loads of traffic etc. However, the area where I live has none of these. In the seaside town of Sai Kung I find it much more relaxing than living in city centre.

How does a completely normal day look? is there normality? which pictures do I see, which sounds catches I? is it does not move the time to want to catch the lifetime to edit lived up lives grants thereafter again to build? one Saturday, too visits much with befriends, the day begins, runs by the large city, appears in one exibition, lands in a garden on the country, wind, coffee and is the sky sometime night black…

Life in a day gallery launched at youtube.com

Log in to the official Life in a Day Channel at Youtube to screen Life in a Day video gallery.


Conclusion to draw:

youtube-users' generated lifeinaday.tv
adds value to
a present official project
Life in a Day Gallery interface
and the way
the data are presented






Hello and have a great day! I just noted today (about 15:00pm Jerusalem time, September 2, 2010) that official Life in a Day Channel at youtube launched Gallery of Life in a Day videos (where I left a comment, a kind of a shorter version of this post).




Well, this is an interesting video gallery presentation, as no one knew before how it will be organized.




Clicking on an emotion tag opens a series of related videos, playing simalteneously (i found it not so convenient, yet no much boring)



One can also click on a particular video image thumbnail to have a given video opened under the same screen of Life in a Day channel home




At first look there is no way to switch to a regular youtube video view, where comments or like-or-dislike can be added. However, when a video is over, one can use the coding to copy it to a new browser tab/window to have the same video re-opened.




I found little flexibility of smart video search and grouping. While exploring Life in a Day gallery, I had a feeling the gallery is designed to be just viewed by either one of the emotion tag or a geographical tag or as a result of random selection of videos on the Globe. While this is fun, it makes little space for a serious presentation of one's thoughful film.

I did not have a chance to note that the issue of multivideo submissions is addressed in the Gallery, so, they could be played one-by-one as a complete film, as we do at lifeinaday.tv .

Conclusion:

youtube-users' generated lifeinaday.tv adds value to a present official project Life in a Day Gallery interface, so, check it out and justify yourself. Should you wish to share your video or several videos presented as a playlist, please visit sharing web form at share.lifeinaday.tv

There are presently 40 Life in a Day films by ordinary youtubers, i welcome you to join us! Note: Gallery by youtube is not complete either: the Gallery home states (left bottom corner):

"More videos each day: Kevin and his team are adding more videos to the Life in a Day gallery as they are reviewed. Check back soon for more footage"

I would like to add: Don't wait for tomorrow, share your video at lifeinaday.tv today: it won't take more then 5-10 minutes of your valuavle time. Lifeinaday.tv is well indexed by search engines and warrants more specific interested-in-your-agenda viewers of your film overtime.

A day in the Life of Fiji

Fiji Time

I work on a week-long show doing sound and production, that helps people transform their lives. While this process is very powerful and inspiring, what the Fijian people offer as a culture, simply through who they are will leave you in awe. Sometimes being in such a rush, we forget what's really important in life are the simple things. Being with friends and family, caring for one another, sharing, laughing and most of all. Love. Love is the most important thing in life.

People have come from all over the world to be here, for what the week holds in store for them. This is my behind the scenes of the very first day of that week.

Major feelings: Love, Laughter, Friendship, Growth, Travel

Caravan by the Roadside, Philippines Life in a Day

For many people, ""life in a day"" is hectic and fast-paced -- like there aren't enough hours in a day to finish all the things that need to be done.

Enter the caravan -- an old fashioned, beast-driven, travelling merchandise. It's midday and the coach has set his cow free to graze by the roadside. They've called it a day as modern transportation whiz past them on one of Metro Manila's busiest thoroughfares.

This playlist features a series of videos taken on July 24, 2010 in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines. These raw clips were submitted to ""Life in a Day"", a historic global experiment to be produced by Ridley Scott and directed by Kevin Macdonald.

Sad example is 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. See this lifeinaday.tv post for details.

Get wild with your creativity! As of August 14, 2010 in response on youtubers request www.lifeinaday.tv mission expanded. You now can share here not only the film of raw footage that you uploaded to Youtube by 31 July 2010, but also new edited videos filmed on July 24. While both are required and will be linked to each other, we suggest you share your raw footage film now and have edited film shared whenever you have it.

We also welcome those youtubers, who had very special 24-25 July 2010 weekend (such as wedding, honeymoon or anything else of exceptional personal value), to include July 25 videos in their "Life in a Day" film as well.
