I met you guys in Hollywood, CA today (July 30) I voted for you and want to issue a challenge. PRODUCER'S CHALLENGE. I just finished producing a pilot for THE GREATEST REALITY SHOW EVER. For everyone that watches TV pilot promo at http://Www.FeelGoodTvShows.com I will invest $.25 up to $211.25 (I gotta give more than Andy ****) So watch the show and then send me an email from the site telling me if you liked it.

Love the idea, you got my vote! Wish you the best of luck with the competition!
Having been a participant and witness to the genesis of Nirvan's One-Second Film project over the years, I can honestly say his dedication and passion are second to none. This is an idea that has evolved into something much larger than many thought possible, and it still has much more room for growth. I hope the support pours in for this excellent and exciting project.
@mockie78 Thanks so much, that is exactly what we intend to do! And everyone else, thanks for the support! Please stay in touch, and Please help get out the vote to friends/coworkers!

I work in film, and we need more people to stand up and collaberate together like this. And I am a producer for the 1secondfilm. So of course I support them.
I support this cause - it is great - keep up the good work :) This deserves the money!!
This is an amazing project that deserves to be realized!
Great Idea; could help a lot of artists around the world, and really inspire great things!
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!
I am an actress.......I love this idea...Keep up the hard work. It's inspiring. xoxoxox
:-) voted!
Just voted for ya :)
Tammy M = Just voted ;) Goodluck! Lol at sickboy932's comment, pretty sure there are better ways to use that money :P
Neven. What are we going to do with the 10 Gs? I say we go to the track.
I'm not sure I get the point of this project. It needs more explaination. Even the website seems very vague.
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.
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!
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!
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 an amazing concept. Best of luck! Let me know if we can help you with POTA! Cindy
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 a great big fun and possibly world changing idea. the gang at No Sweat is going to be pulling for you.
Great idea!
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.
I love it!!!! Brilliant!!!
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.
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.
The Collaboration Foundation is an amazing vision. I love how it unfolds and the ripples it aims to create throughout the world. I voted!

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!

Wow! Thanks everyone that voted for our idea, and for all the encouraging comments! We made the front page of ideablob, so hopefully more people will stumble across our idea and support it with a vote. If anyone has any questions about The Collaboration Foundation, our 5 Phase Plan, or The 1 Second Film project, feel free to post them here. Thanks again!
Simply put... it's for a good cause... vote for it!
I think this will be an amazing way to bring people together!
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.
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!
This is as original and world-changing as you're going to get. Keep on keeping on, Nirvan.
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.
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.
Love this one... Sooo cool! 52.52!
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.
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 believe that this is a wonderfully innovative project and I wish them the best of luck!
Inspirational! 1secondfilm has been incredible to follow and is truly bringing people together!
Got my vote, totally. Very much support the 1secondfilm
The 1 Second Film is such a unique idea, and such a fantastic project on so many levels!
The 1secondfilm is an amazing, ambitious project. Good luck!
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)!
