    Hey guys, I've got a new project idea!

    With the chaos of everyday life consuming our senses, it is nice to sit back and enjoy moments and experiences that are often overlooked. This project aims to study the forgotten moments and times in life that we often pass by without acknowledging.

    The rules? Well, it's pretty simple:
    -Video must be exactly one minute long
    -No camera movement (no panning, tilting, etc)
    -No editing whatsoever
    -Use original sound
    -Tag with '1 minute'
    -Add to the '1 minute' group - vimeo.com/groups/1minute

    Looking forward to seeing your 1 minute moments!

    about rules:
    - why not camera moving?
    - why not editing?
  • Ed Husar plus 2 months ago
    I hate it when people answer a question with a question but here I go...

    why do you need to move the camera?
    why do you need to edit it?

    :)
  • giovanni firrincieli 2 months ago
    Well, I try to explain.
    I think camera movements for film are like colors for painters: of course you can decide not to use all, but you may choose the ones you like...
    About editing: one minute film without editing may give a documentaristic flavour, and I don't like this kind of movies..
    That's why I prefer not to be restricted on creative components.

    I tried it - - interesting how LONG one minute can be under those circumstances
  • David McCrea 1 month ago
    that's the beauty of it i think. the best video will be the one that makes one minute seem like 10 seconds ;)

    Hi..
    I have a question according to the films I've seen. The rules don't say that I have to have one shot, right? So far I've seen only videos that are just one minute shots. Not that that is bad but I figure one can get more of a story out of one minute.
  • David McCrea 1 month ago
    "no editing whatsoever"
  • Sebastiaan Lamberts 1 month ago
    Turning the camera on and off and on and off, to me is not editing.
