Take a fun and fancy free tour of your subconscious in this delightful animated short. Because, really, who among us hasn’t dreamt of 1000 Robocops dancing in order to awaken a Kracken while Emilio Estevez calls for the Flying V?

Posted in: Today's Chili
Vimeo is experimenting with animated thumbnails for videos, which actually sounds like a pretty wonderful idea. It’s currently only live on two videos, and the service will be adding to some of its "Staff Picks" going forward. Here’s hoping for a wider roll out.

Vimeo is officially launching a new default HTML 5 player that’s 50 percent faster than the the flash module that came before. In fact, you may have already been using it for months as the service has been slowly rolling it out to users. Sneaky, sneaky! Pretty much the only way you’ll use the oldness is on Facebook soon. Did you notice that your videos were loading faster when you press play?

There’s no better playground for a photographer than a bustling, loud, dynamic city. In the documentary Everybody Street, which just dropped on Vimeo, some of New York’s most iconic photogs talk about the challenge and excitement of shooting everyday urban life.

Vimeo On Demand now allows pre-orders, offers separate purchase and rental prices
Posted in: Today's Chili
Video producers that sell through Vimeo On Demand now have much more flexibility in marketing their wares. Starting today, Vimeo Pro members can offer both purchases and rentals at separate prices. They can also supply pre-orders and promo codes, while stat hounds will see more advanced viewership data, such as trailer play counts. It’s up to content creators to use the new features, but we’ve already spotted at least a few titles that take advantage of the upgrades; head over to Vimeo if you’d like to give them a try.

Does this video remind you of being drunk, dizzy, or in some woozy dream-state? Whatever feeling it conjers, you’ve definitely never seen animated photos like this before.

The concept of a movie launching online alongside its theatrical debut isn’t new; we’ve seen a few (usually independent) movies reach iTunes that way, for example. Streaming service arrivals are still rare, however, and Vimeo On Demand just boosted its street cred with plans to carry Some Girl(s) on June 28th, the same day that the movie gets a wider theatrical release. Vimeo will be the exclusive online home of the Adam Brody and Kristen Bell picture, and production house Leeden Media takes a populist bent in explaining why: as with Bell’s return to Veronica Mars, it wants to cut out the usual in-between distributors. We’re sure that Vimeo’s tinier-than-usual 10 percent revenue cut and relatively uncrowded marketplace play a part, too. There’s no guarantee that other notable movies will follow suit, but it’s an important coup for an online service that’s not even two months old.

Vimeo On Demand launches, aims to make it easy for creators to sell content to viewers
Posted in: Today's Chili 
There’s no doubt Vimeo’s constantly working on various enhancements with the outlook of making it a better place for content makers and viewers alike. Today, following a relatively brief beta phase, the video-focused company’s officially launching its pay-to-view service dubbed Vimeo On Demand. Essentially, this will allow Vimeo Pro members to sell their video productions directly to the public, eliminating the need for a middleman of sorts (even though technically Vimeo would be acting as such), as well as allowing them to name their own price and select preferred distribution countries. What’s more, Vimeo says that creators are set to keep 90 percent of the earnings “after transaction costs,” which, naturally, includes content sold throughout its many applications on different platforms — including, but not limited to, Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Xbox Live and Apple TV. According to Vice President of Creative Development, Blake Whitman, there’s a lot more where the adequately named Vimeo On Demand came from, as the team’s “already working on another suite of creator-focused features to release in the near future.”

Vimeo announces ‘Looks’ feature, now lets users add visual effects to videos
Posted in: Today's Chili 
Whether it was inspired by the recent Instagram craze or not, Vimeo’s new “Looks” have a pretty good chance of being welcomed with open arms (and eyes) by the video creators on its well-known platform. In partnership with Vivoom, the company announced today that it’s bringing over 500 visual effects to the service as part of its Enhancer toolbox, giving folks the ability to easily add some flavor to their own video productions straight from a web browser. Furthermore, Vimeo’s made it possible to preview these filters in real-time, as well as letting them be somewhat customizable by implementing various editing options, such as trimming and adjusting the intensity of each one. Vimeo also says the novel feature will be able to make recommendations based on “technical analysis of the user’s video and social data,” — in other words, the more you use it, the more likely it is to learn your very own visual preferences.
Thanks to Vivoom’s 16-year experience in the video effects field, Vimeo tells us it only expects the current Looks selection to grow and deliver more of the “highest quality effects,” adding that the main goal is for each and every user to “find what’s best for their personal needs.” Speaking of which, all Vimeo account holders can play with the new Looks at no cost for the next 90 days, although the company wasn’t quite clear as to what we can expect after that period comes to an end.
Update: Vimeo has reached out to let us know that following the 90-day trial, the Looks will cost 99 cents each.
