Response by Alex Kudinov follows:

"I am sorry to hear that your wife and mom of your kid passed away! Your words that you "want forever keep the space and time shared with a kid" are very heart touching and is (for me) the major value of this World. I just uploaded my complete documentary "My Life in a Day" or "Every Frame is a Word of Love", it is 6 hours of non edited 9 hours of filming on 24/7/2011, it is the latest video at my channel and is also available at lifeinaday.tv Lets Love rule this world, not war!"

Life in a Day film festival premiere full movie - watch now complete cinematic documentary of 24 July 2010

This documentary film is also available at youtube.com/wwwisrashowcom

This is "My Life in a Day" or "Every Frame is a Word of Love" movie by Alex Kudinov and kids. It is streamed at youtube.com/wwwisrashowcom and features home page of "Life in a Day Film Festival" web site at lifeinaday.tv .

This full-length no-edit no-cut (except of the soundtrack and five or so seconds of my daugther hand drawing) six hour video premiere (to be precise this is 5 hours 59 min and 58 seconds and 24 frames, encoded to 5:59:57 video at youtube ) represents A Koudinov nine and a half hours of filming time on 24 July 2010, 14:30 to midnight, 24:00. This is Low Resolution 320x240 wmv LAN format (yet additionally edited at final seconds, after another first upload of 4.5 Gb video of original 640x480 resolution failed on January 26, 2011) edition of the documentary film, thanks to the project by Youtube, Oscar winning director Kevin McDonald and producer Ridley Scott, with whom, however, Alexei Kudinov has no affiliation.

Life in a Day is a historic Global experiment and a new filmmaking experience of human beings invented at youtube by Director Kevin MacDonald, Producer Ridley Scott, Editor Joe Walker and their London based production team, held worlwide on Saturday, July 24, 2010.

On that day YouTube user's community was asked to make raw footage of their lives and then submit it (within one week, by July 31, 2010) to Life in a Day project at youtube.com/lifeinaday ). Organizers got over 80,000 clips of about 4500 hours raw footage, that was first narrowed to a 100 hours selection and then yielded 90 min documentary film (comprising 331 clips, as reported by Google Russia) to premiere today at Sundance Film festival in Park City, Utah, USA on January 27, 2011 5pm local time.

Alex Kudinov builds his documentary on his own 6 hours footage of Life in a Day Day of 24 July 2010. Mr. Kudinov footage was initially arranged (and cut a bit) to yield 29 clips, about 10 minutes each, uploaded to his youtube channel youtube.com/rusradioru and submitted to LIAD project before deadline of 31/07/2010. This 29 video clips were earlier presented as a playlist at his youtube channel and is streamed as a complete film at lifeinaday.tv

While at the last week of July 2010 youtube lifted standard video length from 10 to 15 min, it was not properly announced, so, the majority of submitted to Life in a Day video clips are less then 10 minutes.

Interestingly, three videos by Alexei were selected by Kevin McDonald for the project. Correspondingly, raw footage was uploaded to Life in a Day FTP server during September 2010. These three 10 min clips total 30 minutes video, and therefore represent 0.5% of 100 hours raw footage selection by Kevin McDonald team. These clips begin at time stamp 5 h 13 min (requested by Kevin Macdonald and the Life in a Day production team videoclip 1, clip number 11497-3), at 0 h 21 min 38 sec (requested videoclip 2, clip # 11497-28) and at 4 h 29 min 31 sec (raw footage video 3, # 11497-8).

Professionally, the video explains why by year 2010 there is still no cure for Alzheimer's disease (begins at 39 min 54 sec).

Included is also a call for youtube to provide an essential new feature of this major video sharing web service (at 32 min time stamp)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
