The Beauty of a Second
We blink our eyes in less than a seconds time. There is so much life lived in one seconds time.
Montblanc and Wim Wenders teamed up recently to hold a short film competition,
The Beauty of a Second.
They asked filmmakers to demonstrate beauty in one second of film.
Below is Round 1 (of 3 rounds) in the competition:
Seconds Of Beauty – 1st round compilation from The Beauty Of A Second on Vimeo.
I loved the concept of this project because our lives are on such a fast track, we often forget the beauty all around us.
As you go through your days, take notice of all the beauty you will see happening in one second.
Make every second count!

Beautiful images.
And sometimes, a wonderful second can stretch out to an eternity.
Exactly..you phrased it perfectly..Thank you!
Wim Wenders has amazed me for years (on an unrelated note, I was really saddened by the death of his muse, Solveig Dommartin, in 2007. She has such a huge impact on me as a university student).
Have you seen Ridley and Tony Scott’s project “Life In A Day”? Something tells me you’ll enjoy it:
