12seconds for Peace - Bill Zygmant
Bill Zygmant, the man who took the very first photograph of John Lennon and Yoko Ono on the Kings Road in London, along with the classic 'Instant Karma' photographs of John and Yoko taken during a recording for the BBC, agreed to make a contribution for 12seconds for Peace. In this video you can see Bill standing alongside his own photographs of the man who inspired a generation and did so much for the cause of peace around the world. Surely John (and Yoko) would applaud Bill for his stand with them in promoting the cause of peace!
You can find out more about Bill's work and see some of his classic rock-legend photographs on his website at: Bill Zygmant Iconic Imagery.

12seconds for Peace Needs a Website!
Dear All,
In the year and a half that 12seconds for Peace has been running, it has grown inexorably from a little experiment in collaborative video arts, to sitting on the edge of becoming a global phenomenon within the peace movement, as well as a significant and globally important artistic statement.
Many have contributed their time to making videos for the project, others have offered their marketing and promotional advice for free. Magazines, podcasts, websites and radio stations have offered and undertaken interviews whilst film makers and production studios have offered advice and expertise on a number of fronts. 12seconds for Peace is continuing to grow as a consequence of the faith and commitment of many people.
But 12seconds for Peace needs to move on! It is time for it to leave behind this blog which has sustained it and been it's main window on the world for the past year and a half and move over to a professional website.
We are looking for someone who would be willing to donate their time to building a dedicated website for the project. If you have the skills and would like to help this project soar, then please do get in touch! 12seconds for Peace has no funding or expertise to draw on right now to make this happen. You can email to: 12seconds4peace@gmail.com

12seconds for Peace - Elizeth Labega - 2
Peace is our goal - war is not the answer. So says Janet Jacquier in a new video from Elizeth Labega at the Monterey Peace Rally in California that took place on November 13th 2010. Peace is something that we all need to strive for, however we define it.
Get involved, in whatever way that you can in pushing for peace. Peace groups exist all over the world and they are all asking for the same thing: the end to violence against our fellow human beings and the establishment of peace for all. It can be done, but we need to insist on it and make it happen.
One way that you can get involved is by making your own 12seconds for Peace video and sending to: 12seconds4peace@gmail.com

12seconds for Peace - Judith Gigg
Judith Gigg has been a firm supporter of 12seconds for Peace for some time now and having had a number of technical problems over the last few months, it seemed as if we would never receive her much-promised video. But as a testament to her belief in this project and all that it is trying to do, she recently came through with her promised statement for peace video.
Judith has been a counsellor for the past twenty six years and is a member of the British Psychological Society and the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. She devotes a great deal of her time to helping those in need - particularly young people.
You can find out more about her work here at: Open Palm.

Here is a wonderful little video from Clare Brumby and the crew of Clare Makes Films originally called 'Peace Process'. Clare noted
"'Peace Process' is a stop-motion animation that shows the construction on an origami peace crane which illustrates that peace is a never-ending process.The short was made by the crew at clare makes films and in its original format it was used as a trailer for our 'Peace Talks' chat show that took place on November 1st 2010 at the 'Bed-in at the Bluecoat,' a 60-day bed-in style protest commemorating the famous bed-in's by John Lennon and Yoko Ono in 1969. Our non-violent peace protest championed the cause of dialogue in avoiding and resolving conflict through our chat show 'Peace Talks.'"
'Clare Makes Films' is an independent media production company based in Merseyside in the UK which has built up a track record of productions for most of the UK main broadcasters including Channel 4, the BBC and Granada. Clare Makes Films have also been involved in work for Merseyside Refugee & Asylum Seekers Support Group (MRANG), Libra Television, Real Life Media Ltd, CSV Media Training North, Ministry of Defence.
