My name is Brian Lawrence, I am a R&D Manager, Toastmaster, YouTuber and professional inline skater (self proclaimed). I am passionate about many things, ultimately though I thrive on helping people learn and understand.

Back in July of 2010, the boys and I filmed our trip to the Jersey Shore. We then submitted the footage along with thousands of other people to participate in Life in a Day. Of the over 4500 hours of footage submitted, our footage made it into the top 100!!..

On January 27th of 2011, the world premiere of the film occurred on YouTube. The boys and I eagerly watched in anticipation.. hoping to see ourselves appear..

We never did see ourselves but we all enjoyed the movie.. and in a way we did help to create it. If you did not see it back in January it is now going to be showing up this summer in the theaters. I would highly recommend going to see the movie the boys and I had a part in making!

Hopefully something like this happens again because it was a BLAST participating in!

Life In A Day Update!

Just a quick update about our participation in Life in A Day. This is an event the boys and I took part in back on July 24th. (Check here for that blog) We captured 70 minutes of our Saturday Shore trip and had a blast! So did MANY MANY other people, over 80,000 videos (around 5,000 HOURS of footage) were submitted according to the lifeinaday youtube channel.

Out of those 5,000 hours they have narrowed it down to around 100 hours..

And guess what..

YES our footage has made it into the top 100 hours being considered for the film!!! While they have made it clear this is no guarantee that our footage will get into the final cut, it is still pretty amazing!

Next steps are to upload the raw footage, sign some forms and hope for the best!

Life In A Day - A Trip to the Jersey Shore

On Saturday July 24th, the boys and I participated in Life In A Day. This is what the producers are calling a “historic global experience to create a user-generated feature film”. During this day I captured over 70 minutes of our day which I edited into four YouTube sized videos totaling 35 minutes.

While filming you are encouraged to answer the following questions:

  • What do you love?
  • What do you fear?
  • What makes you laugh?
  • What’s in your pocket?

If our footage is compelling and distinctive enough for the judges, there is a possibility we would be included in the film which will be premiering in January of 2011 at the Sundance film festival. If it does not get selected, well..  the boys will have some great footage to look back on when they are older.
