The Simultania Project: One World Wide Minute of Life

This podcast featured the results of the Simultania Project, an attempt to capture one minute played back from as many prespectives as possible. The audio version was played in real time. It is going to take the creator of the project months to edit so the video version will not be ready until April.

I love the concept of the project. There are so many things going on in one minute. There is constant action, constant motion, all over the world. To have one minute recorded from different places is cool. The time, dedication and commitment it takes to edit a project such as the Simultania Project is absurd. In Web Technologies, we created our own podcast and are working on videocasts. The collecting data and the recording are compartively easy when you begin to think about editing. I struggled through about one hour of editing daily over a span of about three days. I would be in tears if I had to edit for months.To complete the editing, one must have a passion for their project. I admire her for doing this. The short time that the public will enjoy viewing the video will come from months of hard work. Its weird in a sense to think of how everything evolves from a simple idea. Technology evolves from a simple idea.
