How to film one second a day for a year
By Con, founder of Music Wide Selfie · Updated 22 October 2026
Short answerFilm a short clip every day, keep one second from each, and join them in order at the end of the month or year. A reminder at the same time each day makes the habit stick.
Rules that help
- One clip a day, no matter what.
- Same orientation every time.
- Mix: places, people, small moments.
Edit as you go
Trim and add each month so the final edit isn’t overwhelming.
Privacy
Ask people before including them in a version you share.
Questions
What if I miss a day?
Keep going. A few gaps don’t matter.
