Vimeo: Weekend Project

Nothing to do this weekend? Why not do the vimeo weekend project?

"Hey Vimeans!

I'm not sure where you happen to be, but it's very cold where we are. On days when I'd rather not venture outside, I get a hankering to do some baking. This weekend, we're challenging you to show us how handy you are with a camera and a cookbook! Check out our lesson on shooting a Recipe video for more detailed instructions and oodles of tips! vimeo.com/videoschool/lesson/333/how-to-cook-up-a-recipe-video 

For a great example, check out this video from tiger in a jar: vimeo.com/47559223 

Your video could provide the specifics of a recipe, with instructions to help others make the same food, or you could film the experience of making your favorite dish, immersing your viewers in the process.

The Rules: 
+ Make a video illustrating or explaining a recipe. 
+ Keep your video under 3 minutes. 
+ If you add music, use a song from the Vimeo Music Store. 
+ Upload and post your video to the Weekend Project Group by Wednesday, January 30th at 11:59 PM (EST). vimeo.com/groups/weekendproject 

Remember that only videos made specifically for this Challenge will be considered. All videos must be approved by the Vimeo Staff before appearing in the Group, so don't worry if your video doesn't show up at first; we'll get to it! 

The winner of this Challenge will receive a free Vimeo Plus account for one year! If you're already a Plus member, you can gift the Plus account to whomever you choose, and we'll give you an extra 5GB of upload space for your account. The runner-up will receive an extra 3GB of upload space, Plus account or not. Check out the full Challenge post here: vimeo.com/videoschool/lesson/344/challenge-cook-up-a-recipe"

  2. I attempted it and failed miserably. :(. Thanks for the idea and posting it here though. I think it has gave me more incentive to buy a tripod.
