What if you managed to pull all the best moments in the day of a life of your typical YouTube user? Then took the skilled hands of an A-list producer and director to mash them all together and create a feature length documentary...

Life In A Day, to be produced by Ridley Scott and directed by Oscar Award winner, Kevin MacDonald that will do just that. It's goal is to be a time capsule to show future generations what is was like to live on the day of July 24th, 2010.

Whether you like it or not, YouTube continues to change the way video content is created and viewed. This joint collaboration is an experiment to see if the average two minute attention span of a YouTube user can be breached.

This is an interesting concept to see if one can make chicken salad out of chicken sh*t. No need to inform you that most user generated content is crap (this applies to so-called professionals as well). But if you are feeling creative on July 24th and feel like being a part of history, you may want to charge the batteries and put that Canon 7D that you just bought to some good use. 

The best part is that 20 of the top contributors will be given co-director credit and flown to the Sundance Film Festival this January for the film's premiere. Dare to dream!
