YouTube鈥檚 Life In A Day: The making of a documentary

Award-winning Director Kevin Macdonald and executive producer Ridley Scott on making Life In A Day 2020.

Ten years ago, YouTube launched a global experiment to create the world鈥檚 largest user-generated feature film. The result was a documentary made from footage all shot on a single day, 鈥渂y you鈥�.

Exactly 10 years on, executive producer Ridley Scott (Alien, Gladiator) and Academy Award-winning director Kevin Macdonald (Whitney, Last King of Scotland) reunite for Life In A Day 2020.

Over the course of six months In the Studio follows the team 鈥� hearing from Kevin, the editors and Ridley - as they wrestle with 324,000 videos from 192 countries and create a new film.

We also catch up with award-winning composer Matthew Herbert, as he endeavours to score the film by using a myriad of sounds from the submitted footage.
