Follow me here: this guy, Cesar Kuriyama took a year off of work — wouldn’t that be nice — and compiled one second from every day of that year to make this short film. It’s instantly both calming and stimulating, and he does some really cool stuff with his year off. Take a look.
1 Second Everyday – Age 30 from Cesar Kuriyama on Vimeo.
The film follows Kuriyama through landmark moments of 2011: the death of Osama Bin Laden and the passing of Steve Jobs, as well as the ultra-mundane: a haircut, a board game. I won’t ruin the whole thing for you, but I did spot some awesome locations in Austin, Portland, and his home-city of New York. [via ThisisAwesome]
What do you think of Kuriyama’s concept? Did you find the film enlightening, or entertaining?

i loved the moments where you heard his friends asking (almost exasperatingly) if he was filming them. i loved the cat and the hammock as well. the funeral kind of creeped me out a bit, though.
@heythereJOANN@xanga - agreed. i wanted to hear a few more seconds of certain days.

I like it. It’s life. Some boring stuff, fun times with friends, family stuff. Weddings, funerals, birthdays. I was very curious about the woman in the hospital though. I was glad to see her awake as it continued.
