All human experience is contained in this cheery collage of YouTube footage, says Jason Solomons

Mashed up from more than 4,500 hours of footage sent in by YouTube users, Kevin Macdonald's film creates a stylised collage of human life on earth, as lived and filmed on 24 July 2010.

Birth, love, food, ablutions, sports, weddings (it was a Saturday), and a little death are all skilfully woven together and set to music, beats and sounds by Matthew Herbert. The result is entirely enjoyable, as upbeat and happy as a pop video.
