Hollywood film directors will produce a new film about the life in a day of YouTube users, a YouTube blog said.
The Life in a Day project by Ridley Scott and Kevin Macdonald will capture a day in the life of the whole world using video shot by the global community on July 24.
"Every day, 6.7 billion people view the world through their own unique lens," a YouTube product marketing manager, Tim Patridge, wrote on the company's blog. "Imagine if there was a way to collect all of these perspectives, to aggregate and mold them into a cohesive story of a single day on earth," he continued.
Anyone can participate by posting a video of their day in life on a special YouTube channel. The deadline to post videos is July 31.
"You can film the ordinary, a sunrise, the commute to work, a neighborhood soccer match, or the extraordinary, a baby's first steps, your reaction to the passing of a loved one, or even a marriage," Partridge said.
Ridley Scott, the director of Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, Thelma & Louise, Blade Runner and Robin Hood, and Kevin Macdonald, the Oscar-winning director of The Last King of Scotland, Touching the Void and One Day in September, will then edit the footage into a documentary feature film.
The premiere of the film will be held at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.
