The 10-10-10 Project

October 7, 2010 By: Sparkle Cat31 Comments

Oh great. I get to have THIS stuck in my face all day.Have you heard about One Day on Earth? A bunch of filmmakers are going to document the story of the world on a single day — October 10, 2010. The homepage says, “On October 10, 2010 (10.10.10), across the planet, documentary filmmakers, students, and inspired citizens will record the human experience over a 24-hour period and contribute their voice to the largest participatory media event in history.”

Well, you know I could not leave that alone. Humans aren’t the only beings on earth — there are also cats! And actually, cats are part of the human experience, at least for a lot of humans. So I figured that One Day on Earth would not be complete without documenting a day in one cat’s life. Namely mine. So I signed up. My human’s camera shoots HD, so she will be my cinematographer for the day.

To be honest, I am not sure what we are going to shoot, or how my human is going to pull this off — she actually has a wedding to attend in the middle of the day, which fortunately, is happening just a few blocks away from us. So she may sneak back home a couple of times during the reception to grab more footage. In fact, she feels a little guilty because she thinks she really should be shooting the wedding instead. I say FEH to that — do you realize how many weddings humans are probably going to shoot compared to how many cats? She needs to film me on 10-10-10!

After we shoot, all us filmmakers will have one month to put something together. I will keep you informed on how it goes. And hey, if you are feeling a bit ambitious, you can sign up to do it yourself!

    Oh Sparkle! What a great idea. I cannot think of a better kitty representative for the whole feline race! My Human doesn’t even **have** a camera that records video–can you believe that? And, even more embarrassing, the only thing her phone can do is **make phone calls**!! It’s disgraceful.

    That sounds like a cool project. We sure don’t envy you being followed around by a camera. Usually when our mom brings out the movie making box, we stop doing whatever it was she wanted to film, mol!

      Funny story about the groom… a few years back, he adopted a cat for his daughter (from his previous marriage) and my human was indirectly responsible for that kitty winding up in his home! Maybe someday I’ll tell Donkey’s story. It’s kind of cool.

    Wow, that sounds like a cool project! We will have to tell our dad about it – he loves to take videos and he had an hd camera for it too. We bet he would be really into it!

    Great idea, Sparkle!! Why shouldn’t the events of your day be documented? Tell your human to get her priorities straight… 😉

    We might do a sort of YOU TUBE contribution (the same date). The idea is fascinating. Mom once did “A Day in the history of our town” ~ she spent the whole day photographing the town, the people, the events, the buildings, the views, the landscape ~ and then posted it on her blog!

      I think your human’s project sounds cool – my human loves where you live from the photos she has seen.
