Hey there, you 'ol straightforward so-n-sos,

This weekend, try this uncomplicated (but secretly sophisticated) Vimeo classic: the One Minute video. It's simple -- no camera movement, no editing, only existing sound, one minute long. Check out Brian's winning video from our last One Minute Challenge:

That's it! Use "Momentum" as a thematic starting point for this simple project (but stray in any way you like). This video is a fantastic opportunity to think about framing and composition, lighting, and sound. You won't waste much time shooting, so try a few different setups before you submit your final minute!

The Rules:

+ Create a video exactly one minute long. Remember that only videos made specifically for this Challenge will be considered.

+ You must only use existing audio (camera or field mic).

+ Hands off the camera, and no edits other than to choose your minute! If your camera is attached to a moving object, so be it, but don't zoom or pan yourself.

+ Anything goes for your video's title, but tag your video with "1minute" and add this at the end of your video's description: "Created for the Weekend Challenge: vimeo.com/groups/weekendchallenge"

+ Upload and post your video to the Weekend Challenge Group by ***Tuesday, September 16th, 2014*** at 11:59 PM (EST). Just follow the screenshots below:

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 Prizes:

+ The winner will receive a Challenge badge on their video, and free Vimeo Plus account for one year! If you're already a Plus member, you'll get another year tacked on to the end of your current subscription.

+ The runner-up will receive an extra 3GB of upload space in their weekly quota!
