There’s a new air of excitement going around the office, as last week, the Life in a Day competition, set up by Ridley Scott and Kevin Macdonald, in association with YouTube, was entered by one of our great sky lanterns chums, James. Being a dab hand at making pretty things happen with a camera and a tripod, James went about filming a day in his life, along with thousands of other hopeful film makers, on July 24th. The idea is that one single day has been documented all over the planet, as ordinary folk document what happens in their ordinary lives. The most compelling and beautiful footage will be selected to appear in an edited version at the Sundance Film Festival, giving those invited to participate great publicity and kudos.The thing we’re most excited about, however, is the fact that James even included a shot of some of our sky lanterns being released; he gathered some friends once it got dark, and recorded them marvelling at the beautiful sight of the lanterns floating away en masse.
If you’ve also entered this fantastic competition, and have maybe even included sky lanterns in your film, please do get in touch and let us know- it’s great to hear about our products being used for something so special!
