Staff Blog / Weekend Project: The Long Portrait
-
Most people like having their picture taken. Photos express certain moments, events and people in an instant. What if you could extend that instant? With long portraits, you can. This weekend, we want you to make long portraits of people you know.
Long Portrait: The long portrait is a video made popular on Vimeo by photographer Clayton Cubitt . A long portrait is exactly like it sounds, a portrait that is long. It's like a photo of someone, but stretched out in video form to show the person's small expressions, mannerisms and gestures.
Check out an example of Clayton's here, as well as a less serious example made by some of the staff here.
Make sure you add your videos to the Weekend Project Group.
The prize: The best Long Portrait will get you 250MB more upload space or 5,000 HD embeds (for Plus users). The runner up will receive 100MB more upload space or 1,000 HD embeds (for Plus users).
Your videos are due on Tuesday, August 4, 2009 by midnight (EST).
Have a good weekend, and remember, the more creative or interesting, the better. This can be a serious and extremely fun project. We look forward to seeing what you guys come up with.
UPDATE:
Whoa! You guys really rocked it on this project. It was amazing to see so many diverse faces and how expressive or un-expressive some people are. Check out all the videos here - Long Portraits.
Here are our winners:
First place goes to Sam McCready for his long portrait of his dog, Berry, "BHNTb Berry Long Portrait". Sam, you will be receiving 250MB more upload space.
The runner-up is SogandB for his long portrait. You will be receiving 100MB more upload space.
Thanks to everybody who participated! This was a very successful weekend project!

as for pretense-- you as well as many others probably mean arrogant. pretentious would mean they are trying to make something unimportant hold great importance. and portraits throughout the history of culture inherently are important. so go sell your pseudo intellectualism somewhere else, we're all stocked up here.
i was making a contribution to the discourse take it or leave it.

I saw some of these on display in Philly. They're pretty impressive in full scale HD. I particularly loved Winona Ryder's.
