“Moving Pictures”

by Jules Older
 
All I wanted to do was post our most ambitious YouTube video to Vimeo.
But Vimeo said FAILED: TOO LARGE.
So I cut. And got FAILED: TOO LARGE.
And cut. FAILED: TOO LARGE.
And cut again. FAILED: TOO LARGE.
I kept cutting until Vimeo announced SUCCESS!
Necessity determined how long the new version was, not me. But the result was, or so I believe, a stronger film.
You can judge for yourself. Here’s the original:
QUAKE CITY: Christchurch Four Years Onhttp://youtu.be/E1g3HU86kI8
And here’s the new version:
QUAKE CITY Christchurch Four Years Afterhttp://vimeo.com/114436484
