Hey there Vimeo Weekend Project Members, as some of you know, making a full length video can be a long and arduous process. Even after you come up with the idea, the actual production of it can be a bit more of a time commitment that you may have bargained for. Well, for this Weekend Project, we are going to give you the opportunity to skip out on the metaphorical meat and veggies of the movie making process and let you dive strait for the desert. That's right, it's time to make some fake trailers!
So, think back to all those times when you have thought to yourself, "Wow! This movie idea that I have right now could be awesome but I just don't have the time to make a full movie at this point in my life!" Because now, you have the weekend ahead of you, and that is a perfect amount of time to make a great trailer. It's okay to cut corners and string random scenes together because after all, trailers are aimed to intrigue the viewer and leave them wanting more. That said, this weekend, we challenge you to make a 1 to 2 minute trailer for a fake movie of any genre you choose. Here are two of my favorites to get your mind going in the right direction.
