On 10/10/10 and 11/11/11, filmmakers all around the world collaborated to create a film that captured life on earth on those specific days. The trilogy is going to be completed on 12/12/12 and the best news is that you can take part!
First, take a look at the trailer, then I’ll explain what needs to happen next:
One Day on Earth – Film on 12.12.12 from One Day on Earth on Vimeo.
How does it work? First of all, if you want to take part, you need to apply by telling the organization a little bit about yourself. Once you’re approved, you figure out where you’re going to be, what you’re going to do on 12/12/12 in order to share a story from your part of the world. Then when the day comes you film your piece. Then you can either upload raw footage, or an edited video to the One Day on Earth website. But be sure and keep all of your raw footage in a safe place! Because when the project’s organizers call for your footage to include in the full-length film, that’s what you will need to send them.
And here’s the cool part. Once you’re a member/filmmaker, you also gain access to all of the footage that has been uploaded by other filmmakers – meaning you can put together your very own full-length film for 12/12/12! They will also set you up with your own page, and there are places on the site where you can collaborate with other people in your area, or who have similar interests.
The film for 11/11/11 is not out yet, but you can also support the project by helping to air the film in your community – and also, the 12/12/12 film once it comes out.mber
And finally, to help increase the number of voices that are heard in the project, the organization plans to ship cameras to the developing world. You can buy “One Day on Earth” DVDs and make donations, and every US$50 will fund an additional camera! Find out more at http://www.onedayonearth.org/
Help spread the word on this exciting project – and see you on 12/12/12!
