What is that I hear you shriek.....
Well I shall reply, it is yet another thing that I have discovered......
Vimeo states that it is a social networking site "connecting people through video". I have spent hours trawling through youtube and other such sites, finding that generally the quality ends up scrambling my head after a while. If you are interested in up and coming filmmakers, shorts, animations, quirky computer effects then Vimeo is a fantastic place to start looking.
Take a little while to find your way around. Have a gander at the "Staff Picks" it just shows how much talent there is out there. The videos are also self uploaded, so you can even get your own work up there. There are some great discussion boards about techniques and equipment.
Other users can comment on your videos and its constructive stuff not the slagging matches you get on other sites.
Yes I am a fan of Vimeo!
Here is an example of what is up on the site. This short (pilot) comes from the HD Channel on the site. It has become quite successful and it scooped up "Best Director" at the New York Television Festival this year.
The Triboro. Watch it here, or even better watch it on a larger screen and in HD on Vimeo! plug plug plug.
