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.

Rushes are NON EDITED, some English and French but a lot of nature sounds and ambiances. I shot in the French Alps, regional park of Mercantour, as I was attending an 'home-made' camp dedicated to digital experimentations, thinking and sharing with geeks: ""... more than 1,800 meters above sea level by the beautiful village of Peone, the international meetings Estive Numérique aka Digital Peak, gathers artists, researchers, teachers, activists, hackers (= hackers, not to be confused with thieves or fraudster), and all public in a camp exchange and experimentation. Presentations and workshops focus solely on freely licensed hardware, software and documentation. General Topics: Autonomy & Environment, Heritage and Digital society, Digital Democracy"".

I am an OBSERVER and a PARTICIPANT, not only a filmmaker.

Work in Progress (editing...)

Major feelings: Belonging to a community, Excitement

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. Voy a ser un estudiante de primer año en el Columbia College en el otoño, y puesto que mi familia había viajado a Denver, Colorado para la ropa de la escuela, yo había decidido que la naturaleza del video sería de alrededor de 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. Estos momentos que fueron capturados en ese día venía de una experiencia de la familia real, que no puede ser visto en dos ocasiones. Life In A Day para mí, era sobre mi familia.

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."
