Hot on the heels of yesterday’s film-related blog post “Twitter can predict movie success” today I want to ask you if you would like to be a part of movie making history?
If the answer is yes then read on.
Google has just announced “Life In A Day,” a film project that solicits video submissions from YouTube users around the world–the criteria is that they must capture some kind of moment filmed on July 24. Hollywood directors Ridley Scott and Kevin Macdonald will produce the movie that could turn out to be one of the biggest crowdsourcing efforts ever.
The final film will be shown at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, all contributors who make it into the final cut will be credited as “co-directors,” and 20 of them will be invited to the premier.
The Google blog post reads: “Regardless of whether your footage makes it into the final film, your video(s) will live on on the ‘Life in a Day’ channel as a time capsule that will tell future generations what it was like to be alive on July 24, 2010,”
All you have to do to enter is upload your July the 24th. Footage at www.youtube.com/lifeinaday
