In a post on YouTube’s official blog, Google’s video service announced today the launch of a video experiment titled, “Life in A Day,” an attempt to team up with users to film various moments during this coming July 24th. These moments can range from, “a neighborhood soccer match,” says the post, “or the extraordinary–a baby’s first steps.” In addition, if your clip tickles YouTube’s fancy it has a chance to be added to the final documentary edited by Kevin Macdonald (The Last King of Scotland, One Day in September) and executive produced by Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Black Hawk Down). The final product will premiere at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival in January, where those selected will be attributed with co-director status and the possibility to attend the premiere.
To add your video to the running, upload it to YouTube’s Life in a Day channel. Although one of the requirements is that you film on the 24th, they will be accepting admissions until the 31st. The project is sure to be a success considering YouTube’s enormous user base… although the ratio of cat videos to all other videos remains to be seen.
