Spam Filters

Make It Interesting!
We want you to get out there and make some new videos this weekend! We're bringing back a simple but classic project, "Make It Interesting". All you have to do is pick one subject and find a way to make it appealing to an audience. Your subject can be a person, a pet, an antique, anything. Try to experiment with different angles and techniques such as panning, close up, and varying depths of field. You might surprise yourself with how interesting you can make a single subject. For some ideas check out the Make it Interesting Channel or the example video below.
Submit your video to the Weekend Project Group by midnight on Tuesday, February 17th. Since it's a holiday in the U.S. on Monday we're giving you an extra day. The most creative and unique video chosen by the staff will garner a prize of 100 MB more upload space or for Plus members the choice between 1,000 HD embed plays or 100MB extra upload space.
Big hugs and happy Valentine's Day,
The Vimeo Staff
P.S. After careful consideration we decided to launch Channels 2.0 early next week. We want to have full support available for everyone when we launch this very exciting feature update.
Congratulations to Benjamin Schmanke for winning this weekend project contest! Here is his video. Benjamin was awarded an extra hundred mega bytes of upload space. Thanks to everyone who participated!

Anyone care to recommend some names? I'm clueless.
Also, I'm eager to see the new channels :)
I'll say that one to my parents.
