On July 24, 2010 thousands of people from all around the world uploaded videos of their lives to YouTube to take part in Kevin Macdonald's singular documentary, Life in a Day. It covers a single day on earth, spanning the globe from Bombay to Basingstoke. The result was over 80,000 clips from 93 countries: from footage of babies being born in Africa, to an American teenage boy having his first shave, to people being crushed at the Love Parade in Germany. The footage was then given to Oscar-winning director Macdonald and a small army of editors who whittled the clips down to a 90-minute documentary. But how the heck did they manage it? We sat down with the director to find out. http://www.empireonline.com/interviews/interview.asp?IID=1295
