I made this video to open the Vimeo Offline event here in San Francisco.

I've always wanted to take the famous cable cars, so I dragged Karen with me for a little ride. It lived up to its fame.

p.s. I heart SF.

    Well done. First of all I love Black and White. Second of all I love how you factored in the little kid and lastly I like how you mixed the surfaces (reflective).

    I'm looking forward to the day when Vimeo comes to us in Hollywood, CA.
