  • It is still flawed...only people who want to share their own life with the fucking humanity. Unrepresentative. 

  • Just saw the film. Most of it was inspirational. I was disappointed with the personal injection of what the director thought was important to him. The butchering of a cow was totally un·nec·es·sar·y. If it included butchering of a lamb or a chicken or hunting endangerd species and there was an actual reason for putting it in I might not have objected but to use this one scene with no context it was too personal a comment and disappointing in what other wise was insperational.

  • Thankyo Zegetusa. I'm surprised to be getting responses to my statement so long after making it. Yours has been helpful.

  • Lighten up. Kevin takes snippets of life and makes it a whole thought....an entity. He does the lion's share of the work. Each person shares a few minutes. He is the chooser....and that takes time, thought, patience, discretion, and vision. He is making a film indeed. Thank You Kevin. TheChimeMan John-Hans Melcher

  • funny how he said hes "making a film" when he is really just copying and pasting other people's films together.

  • this guy is a greedy scumbag, hes taking other people's videos and putting it together and selling it to make himself rich. Anyone can do what he does. If this movie was truly for inspirational purposes it would've been for free.

  • Is it for 2011 too?

  • ok. looking for inspiration to making a new UTAU named "Take Murusaki"...and i found the wrong kevin mcdonald to look for refrence. *click* lets go watch Kids In The Hall and search for kevin's clips.

  • y6

  • This is the least interesting Kevin Macdonald. 3rd place behind the kid in the hall and the brilliant professor.

  • IF I HAD A MILLUN DOLLERS I WOULD BY YOU A HOOSE

  • @SpontaneousJack

    thanks luv, its the thought that counts

  • i wish i could have known about this on july 24, 2010. I was recovering from a life-altering injury, feeling like a resident in the twilight zone. it would have been something to capture THEN for my viewing NOW...

  • Simply incredible.

    Thank you for your work. You deserve every prize you'll get :)

  • Creo que esta pelicula estará interesante

  • awww damn, i missed it :( you should do one agian, really get it out there, so more and more people know, and do it

  • incredible...simply incredible!

  • LOOL

  • where do you send your own video?

  • so how do you get noticed with your own video?

  • I hope he will see the daily live in regions with sad situation, too!

  • @duckhuntchamp - thankyou for explaining that to me.

    In that case, I've changed my mind; it's a brilliant idea.

  • I want Donald Sutherland to give me a packet of pens :(

  • He just suggested filming the death of your friend?! This guy is....pff....INSANE IN THE BRAIN...

  • Novel idea, not exactly the best representation and method of presenting it though

  • Well. Here we go!

    Youtube, a potential medium for independent film makers... filled with trolls, idiots and assholes.

  • Baby's bathtime? I wouldn't post naked vids of babies i nthe Internet. It may seem harmless, but Internet is full of pedos that are lookin for that kind of material. I know it's sick but it's the sad truth.

  • This is just like 'Wall-E' when that fat captain was looking at how Earth looked like in the past.

  • Comment removed

  • Fundamentally flawed. Life on earth as experienced by people rich enough to own a movie camera. Not exactly representational.

  • @MorganScorpion Just another work of the "Illuminati" or what ever you want to call them.

  • @MorganScorpion holy fuck, thats so true

  • @MorganScorpion well then go steal one or something

    like u niggers always do anways

  • @hardstyle905 you're garbage

  • @MorganScorpion In order to give the project a global take on the day, the director distributed 450 cameras to developing countries to give an accurate representation of the entire world. Out of all the clips, he estimated about 450 clips made it in, with one person's submission appearing four times.

  • @MorganScorpion or a REALLY nice movie camera!

  • @MorganScorpion not necessarily,they did send out video cameras to the the poorer people who couldnt afford a camera like the peruvian shoe shiner boy,but I see what you're getting at.

  • @MorganScorpion Not true. ALL countries were represented. Kevin spent 40 grand on HD cameras to send to poorer countries. But I guess you would know that if you had done your research.

  • @Nutz320 North Korea isn't there. It's you who should get facts right.

  • @Supersomonerandom Let me correct myself: I meant that clips were SENT IN from all countries. Doesn't mean they all made it through.

  • @Nutz320 That's what I meant: clips weren't sent from all countries. Of course it's obvious that not every country made it through, and that has nothing to do with what I said anyway. As I said; there were zero videos sent from North Korea, even though you earlier claimed that "ALL countries were represented". That's because N-korea is a very strict dictatorship, and a regular citizen in N-korea doesn't know ANYTHING from the outside of the country. They have no clue what internet or cameras are

  • @Supersomonerandom "there were zero videos sent from North Korea" Are you certain of this? I haven't watched the movie yet, so if you have actually watched the movie and know this for a fact, I will admit defeat.

  • @MorganScorpion Explain how the idea is fundamentally flawed. No one said it was supposed to be represent the entire world population in an exactly proportional way. The point is just to get different perspectives on life from different types of people all over the world. You don't need a movie camera, either. There are plenty of inexpensive good digital cameras out there.

  • @MorganScorpion Not true, the media divide concept does not apply here. The producers made it possible for people from remote places to have readily access to cameras and made it possible for the material filmed to be uploaded on YouTube. I believe that the flaw could emerge in this case from the selection criteria or the narrative structure, even this being open to debate.

  • @MorganScorpion didnt they use 25% footage from people they sent cameras to (people that don't have access to digital technology)?

  • @MorganScorpion still a great piece of work that opens doors to new ideas and connecting people. Don't be a hater, it won't get you very far in this life

  • @MorganScorpion According to Wiki: Cameras were sent out to the developing world, Macdonald pointed out "It was important to represent the whole world"

  • @MorganScorpion

    they sent cameras to people around the world.

    pretty amazing thing they're doing :)

  • my bitrhday is 24th july!

  • I was a finalist, I guess. I was in the top 100, but I guess I didn't make it. No worries, though, because it gave me the inspiration to go back to making my own films. I made a short film called "Brown Leaves of the Fall" that I'm taking to film festivals. Go check it out on my youtube channel!

  • stop at 0:37! lol

  • who the fuck would dislike this, i just dont get what there is to not like. someone starts watching is live "Oh fuck this british asshole" *click*

  • @SnipetoSurvive Here's why I dislike this.

    Essentially, what I'm hearing from this guy is this: "Upload your videos onto YouTube, so that I can compile a bunch of your guy's content and make an ass-load of money off of it. This way, I can completely bypass the entire creative process of making a decent film using my mind alone, and instead just whore off of other people all the way to the bank!"

    Make sense now?

  • @kungfujellybean If your a prick and have no faith in any human beings and like to read into things then yes you make total sense

  • @SnipetoSurvive So I'm a prick for reading into things? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that makes me an informed person. You posted a question, I answered it, and because of that shitty response you gave me, instead of just disliking this video, I dislike you.

    My balls, suck them.

  • @kungfujellybean i dont know where you got the idea that this guy is making any money, all he is saying is he is going to take genuine footage of every day people and compile it to put in the fuckin ground for 100s of years. Alot of these "experimental film makers" dont make shit and do this because its what they love, and your trying to tell people he is using us to make money because you sit at home on your computer and think your informed haha. The government is taking our money, not this guy

  • @SnipetoSurvive But he works for the government. I trust that most (without percentage) of these people bought new camcorders in which a share obviously goes to the government. And remeber only a fractions of these videos are put in this documentary so perhaps 100,000's of thousands of people did it.

  • @SnipetoSurvive Your comment made me disklike the video

  • Terra!

    S.O.S

    PLANETA TERRA!!

    CONCIÊNCIA GLOBAL!!

  • yo ass...

  • Hello Kevin, allow a question?

    July 24, 2010 Why?

    Hello and thanks

  • @AndreaDallaCostaTV 24/7

  • 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

  • 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! :)

  • I cannot BELIEVE I managed to make three films, two of which I am actually very fond now, and got them up in time! I only found out about this on Friday 23rd! Thank you for a brilliant project- it made me get my finger out and film!  :D

  • I'm wondering if we can send in the footagelate...I'm having horrible issues with my camera...please Mr. Macdonald!!!!! Corinna

  • great idea

  • I have a cool video but the time is already over :(( BOOOOOO!!!! MAKE MORE!

  • i uploaded one to you but, it is about what i read, what is going on in the world. and how i have changed physically in my older years of life . and how hot it was that day. what makes me mad, what i have read, how i have no friends, and why i don't care. i think a lot of people have no friends but do care, or are lonely. I tell of what i do with my day. which is readings online about Ufo's and history. boring but i do ttell it in a way that people will judge me for what they see.

  • i made a film about my snotty tissue in my pocket lol

  • I have a song about love i think would be interesting.

  • omg ! I have no pocket !! ^^

    nice project :)

  • Why did the stampede at the Love Parade in Duisburg happened exactly on this day? :(

  • how can i send video to your

    watch?v=C_4uii96xqM&feature=re­lated

  • answered my own question by reading the FAQ

    Beginning in August 2010, you will be able to browse submitted videos on the Life In A Day channel.

  • anybody know of a listing of the submitted videos. If we could see that, then we can confirm that our videos got submitted correctly.

    Here's mine

    watch?v=wBJb53gNdCc

  • HI! I'm not sure wether my video got registered in a "library" or wherever. So, besides the confirm message at the end of the upload process, how do I know that the video is on the list? I haven't gotten any further message.

    Pls help! watch?v=sg2NObtU5P0

  • how do you know if your video is in the Life in the Day or just uploaded to YouTube? It is in YouTube, but, does this have a library? I answered all the questions

  • Wovor ich mich fürchte: ... nicht mehr aufzuwachen.

    Was ich liebe: ... mein Leben.

    Was in meiner Tasche ist: ... mein Kalender, mein Handy, Kaugummi

    Coole Idee und mein Film folgt.

    -ANNE-

  • good luck

  • I want to be one of the 20 go to Sundance and be on red carpet even though my video was lame compare to others.

  • Hi All

  • Where I can find help with law? I have a problem with Your movie rules.

  • yo he puesto mi video  I have put my video

  • ok videos

  • I think the upload process could have been a little clearer. Hope I did it right. Uploaded to my site, then the video shows up on the life in a day submit module, highlight that video, answer questions, hit submit, get confirm message :)

  • Had fun; made a ton of mistakes, but that was the day :) Uploaded stuff warts and all.

  • Hi, I upload my video but where can I find all those other movies?

  • my day is uploaded an submitted. I think my day is interesting.

  • I like the bit about laughing at politicians.

  • I've just uploaded mine too, "Taxi Ride". You're welcome for watching and comment.

  • I'm really looking foward to "Life in a Day" :) I bet its gonna be great..

  • @psilocybe777 try safari

  • Dear Kevin MacDonald

    Why do you hate our freedoms?

  • I can't upload my video. Help?

  • 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; so not global ha!

    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.

  • @ebryou yea thats stupid as hell. not to mention he's probably not going to get any submissions from desperately poor countries with little to no access to the internet, let alone a camera.

  • @DeviousInco Your right, i believe that most of the world today is in poverty and this film will not capture the world today as we know it.

  • It seems the uploading process doesn't work in either IE, Firefox nor Google Chrome !!! What a pain! I hope you can fix that soon.

  • awesome

  • Kevin Macdonald??

  • i think people will be uploading their lives from July the 24th through the 30th since they have until 31st to submit it. its not like their gonna find out the actual recorded date. im just saying..

  • @20DeeSee15

    That's probably why they put such a limit on the amount of time you have to upload

  • If I don't have anything in my pocket, then do I film my pocket?

  • May i please use my personal youtube site to be considered please? I cannot upload to your site for some strange reason. Thank you. Please view on youtube channel. Kind regards

    Clare. x

  • como monto el video que grabe solo grabe un minuto de venezuela

  • @surpaparazzi súbelo aquí /lifeinaday?x=submissionone

  • I tried to post my video to life in a day, even posted a comment that it would not go on and no one contacted me to help so I lost out! What kind of thing is that?

  • i have a film about planet earth , a message from diamond girl

  • Once the Rothchilds have killed us all it will be something for them to look back and have a giggle about.

  • check out my life in a day leaked clip i wanted o show you all...its great

  • The upload info does not load unless you are using Google Chrome. If you are looking at the box above the video and there is just a bar across it saying "Loading" then you are not seeing the whole thing.

    Google Chrome is not available for my Mac OS, I had to download it through Firefox on my old PC. Then you see all the Flash and instructions and Submit.

    If you go to YouTube through a different browser there is a link on the top right to download Google Chrome. Install that to submit.

  • Today is July 25, 2010. I just found out about this project; I am so sorry I missed it! Maybe you can do "Life In a Day" again for those of us who did not know?

  • Just PLEASEEEEEEE(!!!!) let me know how to upload my video on your channel!

    You can always check it out!

  • why isnt it allowing me to upload it says it will redirect me but its going back to a blank page

  • How do I upload my clip for life in a day?

  • How do I know if my video was received???

  • I had a go at this... untill I realised I had to be 18 to upload it. Great. A days worth of filming and It comes to nothing :P.

    Still. Its on my channel if you guys want to check it out.

  • @AndyandGian hey at least your day is archived for you, that is what should be important to everyone...

  • human's Y2K the first "life in day" project without oscar winning

  • Are you gonna put in there videos from Love Parade this year? it deserves to be there the awful awful tragedy it happened on 24th :( RIP those who died :(

  • Eine sehr gute Idee!!!

    Daumen hoch für Sie.

    LG Benno

  • Hi "lifeinaday" ... can you please make the upload compatible to all "normal" browsers or tools or ... I don´t know why I cannot upload it on your page?? It´s a pitty!!

  • Chinese are subhumans because they eat fetus.monkey brain,rats even human soup.

  • @da3coons oh you're quite charming yourself young lady :)

  • I keep trying to submit my videos but the screen is blank.....

  • Our Part for The Life in A Day Documentary

  • Found this today and ran out to capture something, I did not know what! Then it was right there!!!!

  • this is stupid because people make documentaries everyday. they can just watch old news clips or read articles online. technology is so advanced now that july 24, 2010 doesn't need a time capsule. people won't care what happened yesterday anyways. nothing cool ever happens anymore. when they can do whatever they want in 50 years i doubt anyone will want to watch this shit. i'd be out riding my hover bike or some shit.

  • Why can't we record this tomorrow.  or the 26th 27th 28th, etc. We're sending it in by the 31rst.

  • @DistortedV12 Because the main idea is to film one day from different perspectives ¬¬

  • you are a very clever guy, great idea, good luck my friend!!

  • I just found this, i wish i would have known sooner! :(

  • 3 hrs left don't know what else to record

  • Everyone should have sent all bad stuff to this guy. such s showing the Gulf full of oil or people in Hati and all other bad stuff going on in 1 day.

  • Politicians haha.

  • The video must be filmed today, however you have until 31/07 to submit it!. It is kind of difficult but not impossible to submit. I was able to submit it on my 3th attempt. Best of lucks for all!.

  • @trocheelias How doï»
