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.

Liz Caron, the secretary for Westfield's Second Congregational Church, was diagnosed with stage 4 throat cancer. In order to help her pay her medical bills, the church organized a fundraiser that took place on July 24, 2010. This is a document of that day, of all the people who came together to help a friend.

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. 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.

"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?

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!!!

Walking Las Vegas Through the Eyes of Young Kids By michellelaughing
Youtube user: michellelaughing Age: 16, Filipino-American United States, Las Vegas Film language: English and Tagalog Film URL at Youtube
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 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. 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.

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 )))
