This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
Worth checking out. I like the idea.
Online Documentary of the Day: YouTube has finally made its crowd-sourced documentary Life in a Day available for viewing on its website.
The ambitious Ridley Scott-produced, Kevin Macdonald-directed project features 90 minutes of footage whittled down from 4,500 hours sent in by thousands of people who answered the filmmakers’ call to record their lives as it unfolded over the course of single day: July 24, 2010.
The resulting compilation made the rounds on the festival circuit before “finally coming home to YouTube.”
Subtitles are available in over 20 languages. A DAD of the film is also available for purchase via the Life in a Day YouTube channel. [youtube.]
