One Day On Earth – Cape Town

October 5, 2010 — 5 Comments

One Day on Earth is a worldwide media event where all participants offer up their contribution in the form of videos. It is a collaboration event of great proportions, anyone can be involved. The Purpose, you may ask: to create awareness:

We hope to enlighten, teach and benefit humanity through global collaboration and inspired media creation. We seek to find a deeper understanding of life on this planet.

History

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.

Cape Town

Cape Town Come join the Cape Town Group (signing up for One Day if necessary) if you are in Cape Town or it’s surrounding areas. Tell us what you want to film, or if you want to collaborate in something that is unique to Cape Town.

I am planning to film myself playing soccer with my son, I know – not very dramatic. However if someone is keen to do something interesting like trek up Table Mountain, do the Cable car or even the big Wheel – tel me know :)

  1. Dude, I definitely would love to collaborate.

  2. Yeah it does. Trekking up the Table Mountain sounds lekker, I must confess. I have been here since May and I’m yet to do it.
