365 days in 365 seconds — 1 year in 1 video

youtube — vimeo

this was my year 2009.
Every second is one day.

here I recorded my ordinary life — every day makes one second in this video.

what happened most: sitting in lectures (as a student in graphic design) or driving cars (working as a delivery driver for a print shop and a bakery).

other seconds show dates with friends, capturing the weather or me doing all the different activities (tiny and big) I came around over the past year.

technical stuff and making of

I recorded with a compact camera that had to fit into my pocket (a Casio Exilim EX-Z300) wich I bought on the last day of 2008.
The camera captures videos in small HD and has a dedicated record button wich makes it easy to quickly record something.

1417 videos created during 2009
