Vimeo represents another side of web video compared to its Google funded counterpart YouTube. With a focus more on high quality video made by filmmakers and artists, the website contains some of the best looking video production on the Internet with footage of crazy people screaming into webcams kept very much on the down-low.

It’s not all serious though and this weekend Vimeo ran a competition for community members to send in their best fake trailers. As you may know, creating a full-length video production can be a long and tiring process but if you have an amazing idea for a film or TV show, creating your own trailer for it can be a great way to exorcise those filmmaking demons and, depending on which route you go down, have a lot of fun.

The contest ends tomorrow so if you have time today or this evening to knock out a 1 to 2 minute fake trailer you could still be in the running to win the prize of a free Vimeo Plus account and an extra 2.5gb of space online; Plenty of room to upload more brilliant web video in the future.

If you’re a filmmaker and need some studio space for your video production why not take a look at our rates.
