''), and was the first of a number of collaborations between I Am Kloot and Stott.
'' City Life'' journalist Tim Birch described the video as 'a montage of cuts' that 'unfold' thus 'providing a non-story leading nowhere that strangely holds attention'. Composed of hundreds of fake security camera clips, Stott said of the project 'I like working with Kloot ..they give me a lot of freedom visually'.[Tim Birch, 'Laying Low' in ''City Life'' Friday 18 August 2006, pp. 72-3.]
Stott went on to make the music video for I Am Kloot's single "Proof" (a nearly three minute long take of British actor Christopher Eccleston), and "From Your Favourite Sky", both from the same album. Both "Life in a Day" and "From Your Favourite Sky" videos are available on I Am Kloot's '' Gods and Monsters'' DVD (2005).
