Forums / Projects / Vimeo is 2 & the Simultaneous Capture!

Ok - here is a project for the real Vimeonatii amongst us:

combining two projects i am excited about:
Vimeo turns 2
and
a Simultaneous Capture

on February 16th 2007 - Vimeo.com as we know it turns 2 years old {just a toddler}
and we all want to record something special for that yeah?

well an idea i have been trying to make happen for years with photographers is the idea of a Simultaneous Capture!
what does that mean?
that at the EXACT SAME TIME AROUND THE WORLD - we all capture video.
and we know that this is what we were all doing at that precise moment {give or take a minute.

problems:
we all live in different time zones.
for some people it would mean an early start, and others it would mean staying up late.

i say:
who cares. we just do it.

here is the PLAN:

On Friday February the 16th 2007-
UTC or GMT time: 11:00:00 {11am}
{UTC is Coordinated Universal Time, GMT is Greenwich Mean Time}

we all record 2 minutes of footage that captures something of our life and who we are and our loved ones around us.
{2 minutes for 2 years}
i think we don't have to do/say/sing the "happy birthday" thing - do that in the birthday project- for this just treat it like a documentary style or whatever...

don't edit it, just upload it and tag it with:
vimeo2simcap

i have picked this time because it is when MOST of the planet is all on the same date.
it is very early in New York, and ridiculously early in LA
it is late here in australia, and midnight in New Zealand....
but it is all the same date and it will be all at the same exact time...

ok now as i know you are all asking/thinking-
what is 11am GMT time where i am???
