I am a producer on the first phase project of the Collaboration Foundation's One Second Film. I'm impressed by the way this project inspires people and the way it has been managed with a strong value on transparency and inclusiveness. The other day I watch the recorded live meeting of other collaborators on the project and felt really good about the way decisions were being handled. I hope the Collaboration Foundation wins some extra financial support to help shepherd more development.

I am also a producer that at first was curious where this was all going and then all of a sudden as I saw more and more working together I realized that this is a project that is a statement to all of those that did not understand when Times declared YOU the person of the year. This just shows you that even during the writers strike, that there are people out there working together on one common goal to help repair the world using there skills and talents. The 10,000 would be very deserving for all the hard work that this project is trying to do.

As a producer, I am so proud to be a part of this project. To see all of the progress made in such a short amount of time inspires me, as a filmmaker and photographer, to finish my own projects. Best of luck 1 Second Film!! I hope you win!

Entrepreneurship like this for a great cause needs encouragement...keep up the good work!

Vote for The One Second Film! While you're at it, donate to them also. Not only will you be a part of history, but you will also help the Global Fund for Women.

Nirvan is f'in rad. You've got to vote for these guys!

Great idea.

Love this idea!

I support the cause!!

Pretty much the coolest idea in the land!

the project is an innovative as it is important to change. I believe in its eventual long tail and collaborative effect . As encouraging as the project and its mission is, it saddens me how arduous tthe task is to promote savvy, meaningful projects like this My best wishes for a quick tipping point.

I think the 1 Second Film has a real shot at effecting positive change because of its highly creative and "buzz worthy" nature. Would love to see this project expand to reach a national audience. Keep up the good work!

I'm a part of the project also, and appreciate teh opportunity to be a part of global collaborative art. As art budgets are cut in the education system, a participatory project like this helps open up the arts to the public. Great job!

This is exactly the kind of collaborative project and thinking we need to see grow right now. It's such a creative idea and uses technology to build community. The Collaboration Foundation has also shown itself to be a good investment by mobilizing such widespread individual support through its producer network. I want to see it grow more!

The overall vision for this project is so huge, it's hard to grasp at first. When the realization of what can be accomplished with this type of collaboration comes upon you, it's truly inspiring.

Tirelessly committed to bringing about positive change in the world, the 1 Second Film, Collaboration Foundation, and all those involved with them deserve not only votes but praise and hugs... I am all for it, keep up the good work (and I know there is a heck of a lot of it)!

The 1secondfilm is an amazing, ambitious project. Good luck!

The 1 Second Film is such a unique idea, and such a fantastic project on so many levels!

Got my vote, totally. Very much support the 1secondfilm

Inspirational! 1secondfilm has been incredible to follow and is truly bringing people together!

I believe that this is a wonderfully innovative project and I wish them the best of luck!

As a young artist living in LA i look forward to a day that art and artist will be as interconnected as many of the other aspects of our modern world are. Our strength is in our passion and commitment, and hopefully soon it will be in our combined numbers. I completely support this prodject and hope much success for its mission and the indiviuals who have dedicated themselves to this noble prodject. Good Luck!

I am also interested in seeing the great people behind the 1secondfilm further their cause. This kind of global initiative is so wonderful for bringing people together, supporting art and helping the Global Fund for Women.

Love this one... Sooo cool! 52.52!

1 second film is great! I am a producer and proud to be a part. Saw Evangenitals on their tour to collect money. What fun and talent. Good luck to all who join.

I found out about this project from one of my Yahoo groups and think it is terrific. As I heard today, the individual consciousness has grown and changed, which in turn changes the collective consciousness. The light bringers are here and the light is shining so brightly through this project. What has been in the dark cannot help but be turned towards the light and uplifted so that all may share in abundance, peace and prosperity.

This is as original and world-changing as you're going to get. Keep on keeping on, Nirvan.

inspired by their presentation at "the stove",inspired by their hope,creativity and intelligence,inspired to work locally for the art and people i love...and convinced we can all succeed.if i helped them by adding my producer credit, they helped me more by their very existence.the world has been waiting for you!

I am a producer, since I think that it is a great project, which may show the future of making movies, which needs support and which deserves it.

I think this will be an amazing way to bring people together!

Simply put... it's for a good cause... vote for it!

@ jspill: Thanks! Yes, Kiefer Sutherland is super nice! We met him at random and he really liked our project and donated on the spot. There is some video of it on his profile page: http://the1secondfilm.com/producer/6149

i love the idea of a global community creating art together, and using that as a platform for addressing social change. this is a great idea!

this project is beautiful.

Great novel idea which seem to be working very well

Strong supporter all the way from Cambodia!!! Love the idea, please, join us and vote for the 1 second film!!!!!!

I'd definitely be interested in learning more. Keep up the enthusiasm! Check out my idea when you have a chance, huyuno.com. Hopefully you'll be one of the site's first members! Cheers :)

I loved this idea from the first moment i saw it, i think everyone involved is doing an amazing job and I'm just happy that i can contribute in some small way. You really are inspiring a lot of people to follow wht they want!

I too, am a producer of the One Second Film - It is a great project, and ultimately done for a great cause.

@ huyuno: thanks for the support! you can participate/learn more by visiting our work in progress, www.the1secondfilm.com. good luck with your project, and let us know when you get your site up. :)

The Collaboration Foundation is an amazing vision. I love how it unfolds and the ripples it aims to create throughout the world. I voted!

Unless you're Stan Brakhage, any film is a collaborative work of art. Yet, there are still barriers to entry - you have to know somebody who knows somebody, you have to be willing to be exploited in Los Angeles, you can't drum up casual interest without a "big name", etc. etc. etc. What's really exciting about The 1 Second Film, and the other works proposed by the Collaboration Foundation, is that there are no such barriers. They are truly open to anyone - whether you want to paint a frame of animation with condiments, help dissect and reconstruct a school bus, or just give a dollar from half a world away. And best of all, this collaboration yields no personal gain - no feathers in caps, no money in pockets. Once the piece is created, all resources it generates will benefit non…more-profit organizations, and thus, the world at large.

As we move from the information age into the conceptual age, ideas like the collaboration foundation become even more vital. Relationship and harnessing the complex interplay of ideas and actions stemming from collaboration is one of the most inspiring and effective models for societal change and participatory democracy. Nirvan is a tireless visionary and his work is always two steps ahead of the game. I urge folks to delve deeper into the potential of the collaboration foundation and really take the time to mull over the implications of the scale of Nirvan's dream. Awe inspiring, metamorphic, empowering and revolutionary, I sincerely hope that the capitalist model proves worthy of funding such an inspired project.

I love it!!!! Brilliant!!!

I am a fan of the 1 SECOND FILM. The first time I heard of this project I new it would be big. and here we are in the home strech. Good luck crew and keep up the hard work. Art inspires life.

Great idea!

this is a great big fun and possibly world changing idea. the gang at No Sweat is going to be pulling for you.

Oh you want to make a film to create change about global warming. You want to create events to get people aware of this as if the people are ignorant about this. You will make millions from this but the big question is are you going to practice what you preach or are you going to join the status quo because you did your part and continue to be part of the problem.

This is an amazing concept. Best of luck! Let me know if we can help you with POTA! Cindy

Hey Nirvan, Thanks for the email, and for the vote! (That is SO COOL that your person actually SPOKE with Oprah!) Congrats on being in the leading spot for most overall votes! Hopefully this month will be your turn to go for the gold! Keep in touch! C

This is such an incredible project and I am so honored to be a part of it. The IdeaBlob site is very much in line with the message of The 1 Second Film -- that even the smallest action (registering and voting for this idea) could have immense results ($10,000 toward Global Unity!). I hope enough folks take the action!

Nice catch line. Over the years, P&G has moved from R&D to C&D Connect & Develop. In a nutshell, it is an innovation model which leverages expertise amongst oversees employees and the external environment over and above local employees to create a new product. You could emulate some of their models for collobaration: http://www.beingpeterkim.com/2006/11/procter_gambles.html http://nbhandar.blogspot.com/2007/11/c-p-innovation-model-revisited.html All the best!

I like this idea. I have a posting too: http://www.ideablob.com/ideas/2742-online-therapy-clinic check it out (and vote :) maybe we could collaborate or I could offer services.

I'm not sure I get the point of this project. It needs more explaination. Even the website seems very vague.

Neven. What are we going to do with the 10 Gs? I say we go to the track.

Tammy M = Just voted ;) Goodluck! Lol at sickboy932's comment, pretty sure there are better ways to use that money :P

Just voted for ya :)

:-) voted!

I am an actress.......I love this idea...Keep up the hard work. It's inspiring. xoxoxox

It's about time collaborative art have a real home on the internet! This Idea harnesses the power of the internet to inspire collaborative art on a scale never possible before. The one second film is just an example of one kind of project... Thousands of producers worldwide working together to make a film that is as much about those involved as the film itself. I can't wait to see all of the amazing projects the Collaboration foundation will inspire and foster in the years to come!

Great Idea; could help a lot of artists around the world, and really inspire great things!

This is an amazing project that deserves to be realized!

I support this cause - it is great - keep up the good work :) This deserves the money!!
