There’s a wonderful project called One Day on Earth where they are asking for help in documenting just that. If you happened to catch some video on 11.11.11 (sorry for the late notice!) you can sign up at the site and contribute your content for consideration in a feature film. The same was done on 10.10.10 using footage from every country in the world – so maybe, if you missed it this time, you’ll get another opportunity on 12.12.12!
What’s the organization about? The web site explains it like this:
One Day on Earth started in September of 2008 with the goal of creating a unique worldwide media event where thousands of participants would simultaneously film over a 24-hour period. The idea for the project was conceived while watching musicians from very different regions of the world collaborate on stage at the opening night of the 2008 World festival of Sacred Music. Their initial attempts to create music together were awkward, and it was clear that they had never collaborated prior to this moment. Eventually though, over the period of a couple minutes, what was disharmony became harmony, and a beautiful fusion of music came together for the first time. The moment inspired a similar vision for another universal form of communication—cinema.
Since then One Day on Earth has grown steadily as a grassroots effort of international filmmakers dedicated to documenting the 24-hour period of October 10th, 2010 (10.10.10). In April 2010, prompted by interest from the United Nations and the international educational community, One Day on Earth moved to a social networking platform that could serve as the eventual sharing site for the entire 10.10.10 event.
Our first media event on 10.10.10 was an amazing success. We created media with participants in every country of the world contributing. Over 60 non-profit organizations participated and we collectively created over 3000 hours of video.
So what are you waiting for? Sign up and be part of the project. Here’s a clip for last year’s video:
