In the movies

So, a little while ago, you may recall, I decided it might be fun to experiment with stop-motion as a bespoke way of making music videos for my WFTB songs. My first effort, a learning experience, especially in terms of lighting (things musicians don't think about #12: Lighting) was for Diplodocus. Now, one much-better camera, and much-helpful partner later, we've tried again, this time with a bit more lighting detail (but still lots of mistakes), with Ankylosaur

But, here's the neat thing about that: This time, Charlie thought to put it up on Vimeo as well as youtube, something I wouldn't really have thought of, and, get this:

After three days, youtube has an impressive 550 views

and Vimeo has

3,606.
3,606?!

Vimeo! Vimeo. Where the quality is higher and there are no stupid comments. And, where, it turns out, people actually do go to watch videos. I had no idea. So, actually, ignore that link I put up there before, and use this one instead. And maybe spend some time exploring the vimeo-shores before you leave, because, really, it is a more lovely video environment, no?
