I really don’t think there is much I can add to this post other than to say the following is the trailer for Life in a Day. The synopsis, which I added just below the trailer says the rest, but I would love to hear your thoughts on this. I was particularly impressed and think this could end up being an amazing feature.
What happens when you send a request out to the world to chronicle, via video, a single day on Earth? You get 80,000 submissions and 4,500 hours of footage from 192 countries. Producer Ridley Scott and Oscar-winning director Kevin Macdonald took this raw material — all shot on July 24, 2010 — and created Life in a Day, a groundbreaking, feature-length documentary that portrays this kaleidoscope of images we call life. National Geographic is bringing it to theaters starting July 24, 2011. Prepare to be amazed.
