Hello, you handsome humans,
Spring adds plenty of color to the world (as does Autumn foliage, for our Southern Hemisphere friends). I don't know about you, but color makes me feel things, and that's especially true with certain colors! My favorites happen to be Saffron and Teal -- call me fancy.
This weekend, we're giving you a chance to show your true colors and make a video that expresses a hue of your choosing. The last two weekend project winners inspired this color frenzy with their videos Color Circle and CHROMA, and we'd like to make it a nice even three. Odd three. You know what I mean.
Such a narrow subject makes room to play with shooting techniques. Try to vary your shots; we suggest combining macro, medium, and wide shots:
Perhaps Cerulean moves you, and you'd feel like this:
Thinking about composition keeps things interesting! Consider using a theme; how does the color you chose make you feel? What does it mean? How would you express the color if you weren't showing it? Get on the outside of that box!
The Rules:
+ Focus on one color as your subject, using or referencing that color in each shot.
+ Keep your video under one minute.
+ If you add music, use a song you've created or something from the Vimeo Music Store.
+ Upload and post your video to the Weekend Challenge Group by Monday, April 15th at 11:59 PM (EST).
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! Thibault Grégoire, last week's winner, will get to cast a vote this weekend as a guest judge!
The winner of this Challenge will receive a free Vimeo Plus account for one year, and one of our stunning new trophies!
If you're already a Plus member, you'll get another year! The runner-up will receive an extra 3GB of upload space, Plus account or not.
