The comics fan in me doesn't know whether to excited by, or scared of, the upcoming cinematic adaptation of Alan Moore's legendary graphic novel, Watchmen.

For a small handful of burgeoning filmmakers, however, the movie's March 6th release could mean some serious wide-scale recognition--and some sweet new equipment, to boot. The film's director Zack Snyder is offering some screen time in the upcoming feature.

Synder is asking users to create 15, 30, or 60-second commercials for the fictional Veidt Enterprises. Forty finalists will win signed movie posters, up to 20 will win $1,000, and the top five Canon Vixia HG10 HD camcorders, plus the chance to have their clips featured in the film.

For full contest details and sample clips, check out Watchmen's official YouTube page.
