Just decided to spontaneously pick up the camera and found a guided tour of what happens to your videos when you upload them to vimeo.

    great job!
  • hahah totally random and spontaneous, Dan did well. I especially like how he uses the microphone, that isn't even plugged into the camera.

  • Drew Steck plus 5 months ago
    now i wish all microphones were corn dogs and you could just eat them when you wrapped for the day...
  • Stephen Niebauer staff 5 months ago

  • He ate that corn dog, it's in the behind the scenes. One of the videos ate half of it.

    Do you advocate the use of protection for these videos? I mean, sometimes videos don't want baby videos but they happen anyway.
  • Daniel Hayek staff 5 months ago
    Once videos are released we have little control over their decisions, all we can do is give them a solid education, along with patience, and plenty of nurturing during the time they spend in our systems. We've found that almost all videos leave when they are mature enough to confront those issues responsibly and with tact.
  • Sunny Thaper plus 5 months ago
    I'm interested in seeing what happens when your obviously better educated and more tactful videos encounter the likes of certain bad or inferior videos... from the land of Youtube in particular. In India, the caste system was in effect to somewhat deal with these issues (though it was a terrible system) in a very straightforward manner but I can't imagine the same system exists for videos.

    I like to imagine that you fell asleep at your desk w/ the Snuggie on before Karen came along, put a mic in your hand...some headphones on your head, and then woke you up to do this.
  • That's basically what happened. Haha. Minus the sleeping part. Snuggie...hee hee

  • xythestranger 5 months ago
    lol that was great, we are all video's,lol i guess we are
  • Everything is happening all at once.

  • Luke Huxham 5 months ago
    Haha, really enjoyed the video, im not sure if it was just me but i found it really cool because i think everyone is a movie waiting to happen. Might be like you in your own video or filming a sport event or anything, everyone is a movie and everything we do can be put into movies.

    So i really dug the ending how you were talking about movies being people sort of matched up with what i was thinking, was that what you were trying to say and im just slow?

    I think i spent way to much time crunching your video over in my head, love it. Has a true story behind all the humor.
  • Daniel Hayek staff 5 months ago
    Ha ha, I'm glad you liked it. I have the ability to talk nonsensically about almost anything. It's a mildly amusing talent that rarely comes in handy.

  • loonachic plus 5 months ago
    does the snuggie act as a video contraceptive? i hope not.
  • Darek Bittner 5 months ago
    They never mentioned that in the infomercials
  • Blake Whitman staff 5 months ago
    yes. and I speak from experience.

  • Pirata718 5 months ago
    haha! awesome!

    "they'll start driving cars" hahaha
  • I want my video to ride the subway.

  • mike ambs ☂ plus 5 months ago
    So what you're saying is - when my video gets uploaded, and the fancy little progress bar pops up to let me know it's converting... what's really happenings is my video is in a kind of sudo-alternate-universe where Vimeo-time is nothing like human-time? :)

    And in this sudo-alternate-universe time, the video grows and is nurtured as long as takes until, when it's mature and has something to give back to the Vimeo world, it's released, my progress bar reaches 100% and that's it. It's like Back to the Future... but with more Vimeo <3
  • Daniel Hayek staff 5 months ago
    Exactly. Each video matures at it's own rate but luckily due to our sophisticated technology what takes years in our systems only appears to be about a small chunk of your day. The videos themselves are completely oblivious to all this and when they emerge they occasionally are a bit disoriented but we do our best to get them pumped up and excited about going back out. On rare occasions we'll even help them out if they get nervous and come running back. Each one is precious and we try to nurture them while also giving them the skills to be independent.

    All the things I have yet to do myself (sob) I need a life...
  • Video hook ups.

  • Dan Huston plus 5 months ago
    I think Vimeo is like Oz where the wizard lives and Karen is like Dorothy in a parallel universe....what an awesome place to be....

    If Dan is the wizard he should wear his cape instead of carrying it around...
  • hahaha. I've got some ruby slippers baby.

    I'm happy that you take so good care of our small videos so they can grow big and lovely; and create evenmore videos for us to meet out on the streets.

    Now I'm just wondering how likes look like. Is it like when you give icecreams to ones you like? Or is that gonna be us told in the next episode?
  • More episodes to follow in the near future! hee hee
  • Sune Amstrup 4 months ago
    And. Is that an evil or friendly laughter?
    Maybe I'm just asking too many questions.. ;)

    Could you tell my video to drive carefully and not to eat too much peanut butter. thanks ;-)
  • I can't be held responsible for your video eating too much jelly though. hahaha
  •  
  • Ross Youngblood plus 4 months ago
    I like the cape. I learned a lot about how Vimeo processes videos. I think it's clear from this, that the mustard, and refrigeration are the key process steps that separate Vimeo from other video hosting sites.
  • Oops I ate the mustard.
  •  
  • Ross Youngblood plus 4 months ago
    It's been suggested (but not clinically proven), that videos become unstable in the absence of mustard.
  • What does the ketchup do?
  •  
  • dynomike plus 4 months ago
    Sweeet! Haha...So Ross mentioned cape, but I thought it was a blanket. Which one is it?
  • Slanket? hee hee
