ONE DAY ON EARTH: 10/10/10 UPDATE
Last year we posted news on the One Day on Earth project, an ambitious initiative that planned to document life in every country in the world in a single 24-hour period on 10/10/10. With the help of their online community of over 15,000 members, Vimeo, the UN and 60+ non-profits, they reached their goal of having every country represented – not to mention Antarctica and outer space, courtesy of NASA. They recently launched what they are calling a “Global Video Map” from their October shoot day. It is searchable by location, topic and keyword and, as EP Brandon Litman puts it, the Motionographer community “came through big”.
One Day on Earth’s focus on partnerships, its online community and the shared nature of the archive makes this project a good example of how the global collaborations can be done. If you missed shooting on 10/10/10, not to worry, they plan to do it again this year on November 11th (11/11/11).
