my year

I shared this a couple weeks ago on facebook and I wasn't expecting the huge reaction I got from friends&fam. It's a bit strange not catching a second of footage each day but also glad of the break, and might do another one for 2014-15 (also shaping up to be a big year).

2013-14 was one of the biggest years of my life, and i didn't want a single day to be forgotten. for the whole year i recorded a second of footage from every day to make a 6-minute video of my year. rather than purposely manufacturing exciting 'seconds' to film, i wanted the video to be a true representation of the year (however dull/exciting each day was). it was hard work and sometimes i forgot (hence the little messages here & there), but in a short video i've managed to capture: 

scotland > barcelona > nyc > vegas > california > massachusetts > rome > trinidad > tobago > dubai 

starting my dissertation > college ents > life in cambridge > beyond profit > theatre > finishing my dissertation > funerals > sitting my finals > cambridge may balls > bed club > getting a 2.1 > manchester > cups of tea > finishing the whole of gilmore girls > moving mairi to uni > starting 4th year > engless trips to london > working at sc > christmas in trinidad 

way too many cats 

and most importantly, some of the best people i've ever met (those of you not featured were most likely right by my side at the time) 

song choices are excruciatingly cringey and i'm proud of it. 

i recorded my year using the 1se app (1secondeveryday.com) on my iphone. the app made enormous improvements during the course of the year and so the video is a bit jumpy between formats, but is now running smoothly and available on ios and android. i highly recommend doing a 1se video yourself. i am an extraordinarily lucky girl. 

2013 never forgotten.
