[laurahawkins59]

i love the song .. =)) nice keep it up thanks for sharing =)

[jozzybadges]

thanks to you for this wonderfull project. All The Best

[12cookiemonster1994]

...how is this possible? It says "July 22, 2010" but the filming day was "July 24, 2010" in this video he says "filming day is over"....

Maybe they uploaded it on the 22nd but only made it viewable on the 24th?

[RyGuy5320]

@12cookiemonster1994 Yes.

[MarginalMedia]

PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT MI MATERIAL

Submitted to you in 8, 3 minutes film samples of raw, unedited material, with original soundtrack, as Mr Walker asked. But because I am a channel with 26000 subscribers I didn't want to show that unedited material to my audience , so I kept the films as "Unlisted", and that's why I know that noone has yet seen them. I have made those videos public now and tittled them "Day in a life" for you to watch them, so please do so. An African wedding in HD

[bhodybored]

Sir, what are you doing? You cant climb a building. Soz, we makin a video for life in a day. Oh ok, go on then..

[quad4raw]

Hi Mr. Macdonald, i was just wondering if there was any initial feedback that you will be putting out before the final selections are made or even a sample piece of edited footage to arouse our interest with the project...

[rjared]

WATCH MY VIDEO

"LIFE IN A DAY" WINNERS!

TO KNOW IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO WERE SELECTED!

VIDEO PROOF, I WAS ONE OF THEM!!

[WBShepherd]

Thanks for the idea that gave me a good reason to take a camera out that day...it was a splice of life.

[Werebraindead]

: ) Maybe it would be good to have a film bringing together people who met while doing this project.Personally I have met people from all over the world.Most of the time I was surprised that what I expected and what I saw from other countries was a pleasant surprise.GOOD LUCK EVERYONE !!!!!!!!!!!!

[TuckersVlog]

I'd be really grateful if you could all check out my Life In a Day entry. I look forward to seeing everybody elses too! :)

[djoxbow]

Hey guys, first of all I wanted to say that the idea of the project is really awesome!!!

Unfortunately I`m not sure if I`ve uploaded my videoclip in the right channel within the timelimit - so I hope that anybody could help me or say what I could do at least, that Ridley & Co check my special day!

I think that my first part (video consists of three parts) could be correct, but as well I`m not sure...

Nevertheless hope you enjoy "Another Special Day 24 07 2010"!! :)

[onix2005]

Tus agradecimientos también son recíprocos para mí. Muchas gracias por darnos la oportunidad a todos los internautas que participamos en tu original proyecto... Aprovecho para decirte que you tube debería promover una campaña o evitar que la gente suba videos de pésima calidad... como aquellos que graban frente a un monitor desde una cámara HD de última tecnología. Me parece contrastante este tipo de tomas. Es como darle torta a un marrano...

[TheDzini]

Kann ich meine Videos noch hochladen oder werden sie jetzt nicht mehr angenommen????? Ich konnte sie nicht hochladen weil ich im Urlaub war.

Ich wollte so gerne mit machen!

[ReelLifePhotos]

Thanks for inviting us to share our lives with you. I do so hope every contribution is seen and evaluated to form a wonderful amalgam life on this one day - a mere moment in time but so filled with wonderful stories and emotions. xx

[johnpetru92]

Thank you all :) i'm glad to participate it! ;)

[TuckersVlog]

Your entry was really well put together. Check mine out if you get the chance :)

[AtonemovieBlog]

Fantastic!

I wish everyone good luck.

And check out my footage, I'm interested in every single opinion.

[simxproductions9]

thats a really creative idea, nice, ill watch your film when it comes out :D

[bigswallow2]

First day of monsoon season is always fun! And interview day too!! BS2

[elsecaron79]

nooo gooooood

[necrid86]

i spent 3 days filming and i didnt have a firewire in time for the deadline... dammit

[ReelLifePhotos]

@necrid86 3 day7s filming or do you mean 3 days preparing the footage?? After all it was all meant to be filmed within 24 hours on 24 July...

[necrid86]

@ReelLifePhotos No, shooting footage from the 24th through the 27th. I could have made a decent entry if I had a firewire to upload it.

[isvanvil]

until when can we upload the video????

[yoginiclare]

Please would you be so kind as to let me know if you received my video. Kind regards. Clare . x

[footboardfilmsllc]

Kevin I can not get past step 2. Help!

[LegendSw0rd]

i really, REALLY wanted to do life in a day but i was on scout camp and i couldn't take a camera :( :( :( :( :( i couldn't w8 to do a tour of my pockets either, that would of been cool coz pocket are for stuffing ful of useful things and my pockets are allways stuffed

[TheDragonHelix]

Thanks for running this experiment on us, feels a little like getting punk'd though...

[johnnysamoa1]

So tomorrow I'm gonna upload my video. I have been watching some of the videos and they are so bloody boring, good etc lol.

You better have some happy staff to go through all them videos.......

No editing right? Good luck searching for good clips.

Can't wait to see what you will come up with.

[arfindal]

done. uploaded my footage. a lot of work but this is great project and im glad i could participate.

[TheLeafgreen13]

you are a fucken stupied because it is my first day on youtube

[KRS1LEGEND]

DUDE YOU HAVE TO PUT UP theegamedude's My "no life" Life in a day. its beautiful

[BlondeShells]

Might be a dumb question, but I used the privacy setting that only people with the link have access to the videos, I assume that since I submitted them to Life In A Day the link went with them, right?  Thought I'd ask here too.

[ReelLifePhotos]

@BlondeShells It says that the setting needs to be "Public"

[RemTheMulatto]

Poor guy.. He's gonna be bored as hell..

[unbenevable]

Kevin, I didn't know anything about Life in a Day until I happened to glance down at your video on July 24. It said today is filming day or something like that so I thought, filming day for what.....glad I clicked. Got mine uploaded. Fun. Thanks. Neva

[drsaanddfmc]

kevin after i submitted my video can i remove it from youtube or do i need to keep it up until you decide whether to use it or not?

[theonebighug]

I cant get it to work, iam in step 2 and I dont see any kind of "next" button. Can someone please help me? I can get to choose what videoes I want and then there is some boxes where I can write in them. But no "next" button.

Please help me I really want to upload these videoes.

[fbartolom]

I have also updated mine: "An iranian man into a naturist beach", I just checked, for my friend's sake, due to return to Iran next month, that it does not come first page when searching YouTube for : "Iranian man". Should it be selected for the movie I think someone shall give him political asylum...

[mrfernandobrandt]

I've just uploaded mine, "Taxi Ride". You're welcome for watching and comment. Good luck everybody.

[fettuccinetube]

LOL! That´s what I was thinking too, at least about my "magical" videos.

[asoaita]

The global scale in which my lovely and delightful 24.July.2010 (edited in 7min video) was inscribed by LifeInADay experiment stunned me with the taken for granted things of our happy lives and thought of the many people who DO NOT HAVE cameras, computers and internet connection; a safe roof over their heads, safe water to drink and wash, and food at their table; nor the FREEDOM of speech, thought, personal decision or movement.

[anyazzzzz]

@asoaita that is true but every project has it's limits and its possibilities just like this world. Maybe the makers of film could compensate this by taking a special look at material from people in these parts of the world who do have these gadgets. I still think this film is a good idea in itself.

[insightsua]

@LeeRoze thats something i was thinking about in the morning

[botaborsi]

i uploaded around 35 videos of the day but just the last 25 is listed in the display box, so i cannot submit 10 videos. :( not fair. :(

[ReelLifePhotos]

@botaborsi I have exactly the same problem! I expect they intended us to use the 15min upload limit rather than sending in individual clips. I uploaded over 90 small clips and like you could only submit a totally random handful. Such a shame they have failed to preview this issue as 70% of our story is missing!

[Pahiirm]

i had great funn! and im still laughing .loloLOloLoloLooo !! .... pAhiiRM !!

[RomiBarcena]

I have a video it's quite long, almost 8 mins, it took me about 4 hours but still cant upload it so I decided to try and upload a shorter one and it does wok, I'll try to upload it again maybe tomorrow using a different internet connection. Not sure If somethings wrong in their flash program or mu connection.

[azyome]

@RomiBarcena ITS FUCKEN OVER DUDE

[RomiBarcena]

@azyome Deadline for submission: July 31,2010 :-)

[azyome]

@RomiBarcena oh lol

[RAIKISHINN]

my day wasn't magical ;_;

[guitartwinz]

go to myspace.

com/theconnectioncanada

[MariaHalik]

you're welcome!!!  You gonna love me!!!

[GirlOfBrodway]

I filmed... Just haven't uploaded yet!

[alexstewartmovies]

i missed it

[tobiosnmakky]

@alexstewartmovies as did i

[1softkiss]

Fantastic idea and definitely suiting in these rough times with economy and our environmental changes and world problems. I always loved the concept of time capsules and this is the same thing, only in graphic form and a wonderful thing to share with others. Big Props To The Author!!!!

[bohnstube]

@conunpardewebs "That means...that one tiny atom, in my fingernail, could be..." (nods affirmatively, while finishing the others newfound thought of "discovery", and says) "...could be...one, tiny,...little universe." "Could I buy some *pot?* from you?" LOL, sorry, really I am, just couldn't resist the reference to the classic movie scene. And there is definitely thought in what you say. I "thumbs upped" your post. Cool site too, btw.

[ruben24019]

es muy divertido

[001just4fun]

can't wait to get my video in. My laptop is slow..lol

[TheAwesomeindia]

i have uploaded mine....: new delhi, india.

[bohnstube]

Anyone who would upload to this "project", with all of the contractual legalities stacked so totally against the "content providers" by major corps., (i.e. anyone reading this who has already done it), is probably the same person who'd be "naive" enough to hire Lindsay Lohan as a "designated driver". And expect her to be a suitable Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor. And who would hire Roman Polanski as a babysitter to a teen-aged daughter. And trust that BP would know how to run an offshore oil rig.

[coolcats95661]

i need a camera, can anyone loan me 1 please email me@thewhitedragon2009@surewest­.net

[SuperSmasher1]

Well unless you have a tendency to spot a double rainbow, you won't have shot anything "magical".

[Metalex1982]

I just uploaded some Road Trip To Holland videos, for those of you who like watching metal dudes having fun.. and yes there's a lot of bad words being said, but all in good fun, and joints being smoked, so don't go check out my videos if you don't like those things. Plus a have a lot of videos where I am drumming.. just saying.. check it out, if you are into those things alrighty.. peace :)

[AnkelzSB]

look for my video with my Capuchin monkey named Cricket!

[ebryou]

You will not be eligible to submit Videos to be considered for inclusion in the Film if you are:

· a resident of Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Myanmar/Burma, Syria, or any other U.S. sanctioned country;

it is in TOC. so if you are from those countries I think you should go..... yourself. regardless of how much you put time for this ...... project.

[AnkelzSB]

@ebryou what country are you in?

[ebryou]

@AnkelzSB Does it really matter?

[AnkelzSB]

@ebryou it just may, you may not know the relations those countries may have with the US, maybe that may play a roll in why they can't participate, maybe their form of government prohibits then from participating in events like this, that is why I asked, maybe you could of shed some light for us. I mean, do you really think that they would just choose a few countries to exclude? hehe.

[ebryou]

@AnkelzSB yeah I can assure you that nothing in those countries (to my knowledge) will prohibit SIMPLE people to participate in such non-political events (unless we make the things political !!!).

I am for non of those countries listed there but I think making things politically charged (and not mentioning in the first page!!!!d) in places that spirit of human being should work instead of filthy politics is shocked me!

[AnkelzSB]

@ebryou hehe North Korea is a communist state no? and American's aren't even allowed to step foot in Cuba, and aren't we at war in Iran? :O

hehe not saying that those are good reasons to ban the average citizens, but Kevin Macdonald is an Oscar Winning director, I am sure that all his projects are monitored by the gov, and who knows, it could be strict rules the gov set. I don't know, just trying to lend the knowledge that I know. Take care. :]

[ReelLifePhotos]

@AnkelzSB If art transcends politics and ideologies why should whole nations be banned form participating in a global picture/time-capsule. This automatically skews the balance of valid universality which I believe was the objective...

[AnkelzSB]

@ReelLifePhotos hmm, regardless if you want to argue my guesses or not what I said are facts about our politics, for the most part, and these countries are still banned. Now I don't create the rules, I just presented my guesses on why they could of been banned, seeing how not every government may be the same in the country you live in, that makes it possible for other countries not to want to participate in US activities that possible could influence what ever.

[frvfilms]

ooops it was several days?? not just one day

thats false adverticing..

[quetalquetal]

yeeee

[casatortugas]

thanks for the proyects ounds cool, we had a nice experience

[ameera14]

shoot i forgot to shoot! :s

[whynostop]

what a lame project, glad i didn't participate.

[scarystuffproduction]

FANTASTIC project. glad i could participate

[kat007st]

Kevin I had a blast..... I must Thank You...... Never thought I could film myself - well actually the close-ups are a bit scary.... awoke that very day to spy your Life In A Day segment on youtube. I thought, how wonderful of a concept is this - a modern age time capsule. Off to see my Dad I was and thought I can film this as this is the one and only day. I was absolutely meant to find out about this at the last minute. This made me 'oh so way impromtu.....' Katherine :)

[MRLOL785]

uploaded mine! even though it was shot on the 24th

[camelsandfriends]

I filmed me out with my camel. Since I do that most normal days.

[4play1981]

i'm done filming and I just uploaded mine. it was fun fliming about my life.

[TuckersVlog]

I just uploaded mine :D It was actually surprisingly fun to take part in this. Can't wait to see how everybody else did!

[seriouslyWeird]

what happened to his hair

[CleverDjembe]

@seriouslyWeird

I don't know what happened to her hair.

[maripixie]

grabé todo el día de ayer, ahora a editar.

estoy feliz por esto

[janettedevilliers]

i did "just do it"!!!!!!

[TheDailyNewsPost]

OMG, my videos will take forever to upload!

[RobaczekBaczek]

no problem men ; )

good luck

[CRATERSAM]

To submit your videos, you have to click on one of your videos in the box on step 2. Please tell other people about this to help them too. :)

[samcai8]

A Beetle was on my mm's vegtebles!

[MyRsIrl]

I recorded how I was sittin' on a toilet, sittin' on a toilet,sittin' on a toilet, then I fluuush.

[bohnstube]

"MAGICAL"? LOL, don't you mean MERCENARY there, Kev? Essentially a corp. retreading of the worn & tired (albeit cute & fun) "Time Capsule" idea made popular to 3rd graders by '70's era "Earth Day" hippies, but this time, it WON'T open in 30 yrs for a hist./soc. perspective. Nope. It'll be "opened" in ½-1½ yr @ The Sundance Film Festival. For $15. If you are a Utah student. Others, CONSIDERABLY more. No word yet on the cost to see YOUR OWN 3 SEC. OF INTEL. PROP. "FAME" IN *3D!!!*. Yet.

[spikeyhelen]

I'm getting the same problem. I've submitted two clips, get to section 2, click and next and then nothing. Do you have any suggestions, or can you confirm if our videos have been submitted yet?

[GTRJaysus]

For some reason I can't "submit" my entries. I've uploaded them all- they appear in the "your videos" box , but if i fill out my details and press "next" nothing at all happens. I've tried several computers and none of them are working for it.. Is it just me, or is there an overall problem with it?

[254GENERAL]

@GTRJaysus lol, happened to me too, but the solution is quite simple...click on one of your videos in the box, then click next. I felt like a retard. lol YOu have to choose one video each time

[GTRJaysus]

@254GENERAL Hahaha, I feel like such a tit now. Cheers for that :)

[254GENERAL]

@GTRJaysus LOL, thats how i felt. lol

[anawestar2007]

Not able to submit footage, please advice.

[HelensVlogs]

@anawestar2007 same problem here, since last night and still today... not able to sumbit footage...

[Tazbev84]

@anawestar2007

same here

[254GENERAL]

@anawestar2007lol, happened to me too, but the solution is quite simple...click on one of your videos in the box, then click next. I felt like a retard. lol YOu have to choose one video each time

[JonnyOBoogie]

@anawestar2007 When you submit a video upload it and when its done submit ONE video at a time.

[LostBlossom]

This seems like a very fascinating project. Very interested in seeing the results!

[TheViewOfCalvin]

I made a random video, just took a few footages of my environment.

[GetAtYoBoyDavid]

recorded the OC fair

[Prankingcalls]

does anyone know the program he uses behind him on his pc???,

[rmsome]

@Prankingcalls it looks like Premier to me but with just the timeline and preview/cut window open

[usatraveler45]

@Prankingcalls Looks an awful lot like Avid Media Composer to me. Audio meters above the timeline, logo right of the audio meters. Sequence name above the top-right record monitor in the Composer window.

[AveragelifeofKai]

I went to an air show featuring the thunder birds. I have ALOT of footage and will be uploading all night and, by the looks of it, 2moro and 2moro night as well. It was a very interesting day I must say! Please come n check em out, tell me what you think.

[radiophonics]

[oneeyedgeek]

I just shot me sitting around, watching TV, on the computer, and the view from my apartment. Kinda boring but that's my usual day.

[ChildsGuidetoLife]

it was great filming today. I never really thought about HOW MUCH takes place in a single day until I intentionally thought about it! Our day was packed!

[tgifcali]

Our Part for The Life in A Day Documentary

[1from31]

wait... so i am not able to put mine in now? :'(

[missymoo2222]

@1from31 you can upload your videos until the end of July ;)

[TheYoshiBrawler]

@1from31 i'm pretty sure you can still upload it as long as it's from july 24th. i think there's a FAQ on his channel

[JOSHACE111]

lol then he takes a look at the videos "WTF IS THIS SH*T!? THIS ISNT MAGICAL THIS IS GARBAGE!!! MY MOVIE IS RUINED!!!" xD

[LadislavMiklas]

@JOSHACE111 totally agree xD xD

[arfindal]

@JOSHACE111 that made my day mate

[feraligatr8]

It was childrens day over here but I guess I can't enter coz I'm not 18 :(

[missymoo2222]

@feraligatr8 you have to be over 13 ;)

[feraligatr8]

@missymoo2222 yayy! :D I recorded somthin from childrens day but its not much.

[TheAntimeta]

I couldn't enter because I wasn't 18. It would be nice if you could do this again soon.

[missymoo2222]

@TheAntimeta you have to be 13 ;)

[Elisir89]

It was a beautiful day! I enjoyed a lot, making videos with my dear friend.

We recorded our evening spent at the cinema. It's not in our daily lives, but almost.

I hope it's good, anyway.

By tomorrow I'll upload.

One curiosity: Since my friend and I are Italian, I put English subtitles in the video?

[missymoo2222]

@Elisir89 subtitles weren't compulsory, but you were free to do so

[kashman217]

A fine day!

[herostoryproductions]

I filmed a motorcycle ride, which is always a part of my day everyday and some random stuff happening around.

[Carpenter4134]

How do we send it to this guy and when is the deadline?

[revolutionfrombed]

En mi pais todavia me quedan seis minutos para encontrar algo mágico.

[Olli120]

I just recorded my morning, my mowing the lawn and then i took my camera with me on a little bicycle ride through my city and the outskirts. Finally i answerd Kevin's Questions ;D

[Olli120]

@Olli120 *me mowing the lawn.

[meanmachinezzz]

nub

[freerunnist]

Went to a festival, and recorded random conversations. And recorded my girlfriend at the start of the day. Both are excellent things I experience a lot and make me happy.

[FHomeBrew]

I filmed myself canoeing with my dog and making my favourite meal. It's magical to me. Today was a pretty good day.

[TheShityP]

my cat

[VlogBilly]

Is anyone having trouble with Uploading?/Submitting? there footage?

[Kevinu2320]

@VlogBilly : I am.

[herostoryproductions]

@VlogBilly Might be overwhelmed with submissions now, I'm uploading to my youtube channel and will submit tomorrow.

[HereComesSte]

I wouldn't say I've got something magical like... still hope you like it though :)

[deafdub]

I enjoyed it very much filming my day as a Deaf person. Do you want me to remove the ambient sound picked up by my camera, as it is sound NOT heard by me?

[zionravescene]

Well, today was fun. Very fun.  Mundane compared to most people, but fun.

[Looserkid13]

Editing will start tmrw... gotta buy me a PCI Firewire card....

[LadyShaker84]

Sure! I'm editing the video!

[tirapurus]

yes I filmed and I hope it's fine :)

[CptMcOneball]

Didn'tFilmLol

[NintendoVSony]

AWESOME,1 of the first comments>

[Robz00r]

i just wonder...they say that u only can film at the 24th juli, but u still got 6 days on you to upload the video? How can they know if people use this 6 days to film?
