See
Life in A Day on YouTube this week. It was shot by thousands of people in 192 countries, the idea was that the film would serve as a time capsule to show future generations what it was like to be alive on the 24th of July, 2010. Kevin Macdonald (grandson of the great British director Emeric Pressburger) assembled the movie, cutting 80,000 clips, or 4,500 hours of film, down to 90 minutes. We like it.
