A few weeks ago we were tipped off about 2min15 a new video blogging project dedicated to archiving "urban life in different cities around the world." The project has a few simple guidelines:
Urban life is the main subject of the blog, the idea is to show the life of the city where you live, or where you travel; but always with a curiosity for seeing farther than the usual stuff. Either showing a normal day in the city, or the weirdest.
Videos should have a length of 1min to 2min15, we think is a proper time to show something without it being boring, less is more.
Digital cameras and basic editing software is the base of the project, access to this kind of technology is easier every day, feel free to edit videos as you wish, these can be with music, real audio, mute, black and white and in any language. The idea is that everyone can watch it, without it being too personal.
...and of course it goes without say that this is a creative, rather than commercial project. If you'd like to get involved contact dosquince@gmail.com for more information—it sounds as if the 2min15 project is looking to build up a roster of international contributors.
