To my many other titles, we can now add "Film Producer."
The 1 Second Film is a project to make a 1 second IMAX film. It will be the world's biggest shortest film.
The concept:
The 1 Second Film is animated. There are 12 frames that create the animation; each frame is a GIANT 5ft x 9ft painting that had it's own director and was painted by hundreds of people during an all-night event.
Each of the 12 giant frames will be filmed twice to create the 24 frames in one second of film. After the film's World Premiere, the paintings will be on exhibit and sold to raise money for charity.

At the center of The 1 Second Film is an idea of perfect moments: an idea that the perfect moments in life are often the smallest. Is it possible to create perfect moments?
The 1 Second Film is as much concerned with the process in which a moment is created as it is with the final result. By using animation, a great deal of time and effort is compressed into a single moment. The film is a collection of the moments in which it was created.

The moment they have chosen is a 1 second clip of a woman having an orgasm. Not a bad choice. Certainly, "a great deal of time and effort is compressed into a single moment" applies here.
The credits following the film will last an estimated 60 minutes and feature a documentary as well as the name every producer, among them Pierce Brosnan, Kevin Bacon, Spike Jonze, Stephen Colbert, and ME.
All proceeds benefit the Global Fund for Women, which, judging solely on their name, is a good cause.
