About The 1 Second Film

Nirvan Mullick

Hi, welcome to The 1 Second Film! My name is Nirvan, I'm the director of this project.

The 1 Second Film is a non-profit experiment in global collaboration. We're making a movie everyone can be a part of, from celebrities to my grandmother. The film will be one-second of animation (made of 12 giant paintings), followed by one-hour of credits listing everyone who participates. To keep people entertained during our credits, a feature-length 'making of' documentary will play alongside the credit-scroll, detailing how so many people joined together for one moment. Once finished, all profits raised by our film will be donated to charity, and our crew will be invited to continue collaborating on future productions. If you haven't yet, please join our crew and add your name to our credits! It's free and all for a good cause. You can also become a Producer by donating a dollar, and participate more. If you have any questions, tweet me @1secondfilm. Thanks!

Participate More!
There are lots of little ways to participate more. Join groups, share ideas, set up events, connect with our crew, and get participation points. Small contributions make a big difference!

 

How it Works:

Micro-Collaboration
The 1 Second Film is being made by a crew of participants around the world. The idea is to empower a lot of small contributions to collectively create something bigger. 

12 Paintings, 1 Second of Animation
Our project is built around one-second of animation. There are 24 frames in a single second of film. Each frame of our animation is a giant 5ft x 9ft painting, created by hundreds of people during an all night collaborative party. Each painting will be filmed twice to create the 24 frames in one-second of animation. After our premiere, our 12 paintings of animation will be on exhibit & auctioned off for charity. see our 12 paintings

1 Hour of Credits with Documentary
Our film is being created by a global community of participants; everyone who joins our crew (for free) will be listed in our Special Thanks credits, and anyone who donates at least $1 becomes our Producer. With so many participants, our movie's credits are estimated to last one hour! A feature-length 'making of' documentary will play alongside the credits, telling the amazing story of the idea's journey from start to finish.

Non-Profit
Once finished, all profits raised by our film will be donated to The Global Fund for Women, a non-profit grant making organization supporting women's human rights around the world. Our non-profit, The Collaboration Foundation, will then provide our crew with tools to continue collaborating on future productions. learn about our non-profit
