My Bio
Hi, I'm the director of The 1 Second Film. My background is in animation (mostly stop-motion). If interested, you can see some of my previous work on my website: www.nirvan.com or check out my more official bio.

I was born in India, and grew up in Florida. The idea for this project began to develop back in '95 when I first started experimenting with animation. I began brainstorming ways to compress as much as possible into one-second of animation, while exploring an idea of perfect moments. I took this train of thought to CalArts, where I went to study Experimental Animation. I started selling $1 Producer credits to raise funds for the animation event, and decided to try expanding the concept beyond my school, and to develop it into a non-profit.

If you want to read more about how this project has developed, please check out our production timeline.

If you have any questions, please check our FAQ or our crew forum. You can also find me via twitter @1secondfilm and facebook, or contact me directly.

I want to give a Special Thanks to everyone who has helped this get so far! Without each and every one of you, this film would still be next to nothing.

What are some things you're doing to help make this film?
I made some fliers. I also made change for Kevin Bacon.
Why are you supporting The 1 Second Film project?

I really believe in the idea. This is more than a movie to me; it is part of a larger movement. With so many tools connecting our world, there seems a need for projects that tap into our collaborative potential and explore creative ways for us to work together. For me, this project is all about the process, the tools, and most importantly, the people who make it possible. The support this has received is truely overwhelming, and inspires me to keep going.

    Site Upgrades: Varnish Installed + 2 Week Hiatus

    This week, we finally got Varnish installed on our servers. Varnish helps our Drupal site performance by making better use of cache to serve up content (instead of the database), and will allow our site to handle a lot more anonymous visitors (hopefully!).

    We are still making other site improvements. The site is still pretty slow, and we also need to improve performance for logged in users. Basically, there is a lot of tech to do. We don't have the resources to do everything, but we want to make  sure we make the most of what we have.

Any chance of the bus coming to Germany one day? Maybe we could do something over here like that in Munich? Are there other people from Munich or Germany already working on some projects?
I love the idea of the 1 second film - would like to get involved even more!
Greetings from a finally sunny and warm Munich,
Yvonne

That is such an awesome idea Francisco! Try to video tape or take some pics to send us too. And if you refer 10 people to donate $10 or more each, I'll send you a free 1 Second Film t-shirt too. God luck, and have fun!

Hello, just wanted to stop by and say I have been a fan of this project for a long time but I wasn't able to donate money. Then I thought that it had ended but recently figured out that it hasn't. So I am very happy to finally be able to help out . Let me know any other way I can be of assistance.
