Nearly a year ago a devastating earthquake and tsunami rocked Japan on March 11th 2011. In memory of the disaster, Fuji Television, in cooperation with Ridley and Tony Scott’s production company Scott Free London, will be producing Japan In A Day, a follow-up to the documentary A Life In A Day. Similar in structure, this will be a 24-hour self-portrait of Japan filmed by the public using any recording device. Additionally 200 cameras will be donated by Fuji for the documentary and will go to people in those areas most affected by the events. Once the footage has been submitted, Fuji TV will select the best material to comprise the feature which will get a worldwide cinematic release. Have a look at the announcement/promo trailer…
In case you missed it, two years ago thousands of people all over the world submitted video of their daily routine n hopes of being selected for an unprecedented experimental feature film. The result was Life In A Day a documentary that serves as a time capsule to show future generations what it was like to be alive on the 24th of July, 2010. Japan In A Day will achieve the same goal with focus on showing how Japan has grown and recovered since the horrible natural disaster last March 11th. What do you think of this tribute??
