Production
The title of The 1 Second Film derives from the fact that the animation at the core of the film project is just one second long (24 frames). The animation consists of 12 large frames (9 ft x 5 ft paintings). The frames were painted by hundreds of people during a multi-disciplinary event on March 8, 2001 (International Women's Day) at California Institute of the Arts. The event included live-performers and musicians; people attending the event were invited to help paint the frames of animation. Each frame had an art director that engaged the audience as participants; color design for the animation was selected by Jules Engel. Each of the 12 paintings is filmed twice (on 70 mm film) to create the 24 frames in one second of film.
The one second of animation will be immediately followed by an estimated one hour of end credits. Alongside the credits will be a feature-length documentary on the creation of the artwork.
The production gives a Special Thanks to everyone who registers to join on the1secondfilm.com. Crew Members then get profiles on the1secondfilm.com and can participate more and get additional film credits.
The film is being crowd-funded by public donations. Donors receive a Producer credit in the movie for a minimum of US $1.00 (with no maximum). Depending on the amount donated, the contributor is credited either as an Associate Producer (US $1–9.99), Producer (US $10–99.99), or Executive Producer (US $100 and up). Producers get listed in order of amount donated, which has led to the general public outbidding many of the celebrity producers to get a top billing.
The production also gives a Publicist credit to crew members who refer one or more people to join. Publicists get listed in order of referrals.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“The society based on production is only productive, not creative.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“[T]he asphaltum contains an exactly requisite amount of sulphides for production of rubber tires. This brown material also contains “ichthyol,” a medicinal preparation used externally, in Webster’s clarifying phrase, “as an alterant and discutient.””
—State of Utah, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
