Another Dream
Should I join Vimeo or Youtube? That’s the question for weeks now...
Or at least, it was until last saturday when I finally joined…
Click into the image and follow the white rabbit... er... the link to my new vimeo homepage.
Tadaaa!
– Yes, of course, youtube is much more popular, and if you want to get your videos out quickly it may be your first choice. But for several reasons I don’t trust a company who collects as much data as Google does for turning user data into money... I like Vimeo better especially for its artistic approach... They have a nice data policy and everything seems to work fine there.
Normally, I’d like to host my videos on our own server, but I thought it would be nice to reach a few more people through a video community website... In addition, I’m finally going to share my animation debut with you, Ein anderer Traum (engl. Another Dream) which I made in 2006:
While I was thinking about which videos I’d like to share I detected that I produced lots of short clips over the last years but no other completed films. But then I decided that I don’t care about this. The last years had been truly educational time and I tried and learned a lot of things... Ein anderer Traum was the very beginning in 2006, when I first thought to give animation a try and then decided to become an animation artist... Here I am now!
Thanks to all of you who came along with me that way!

Good morning, Michael!
You're right about vimeo's user interface, everything is easy to find since they try to keep it simple and clear.
I'm lokking forward to hear/read your comments about Ein anderer Traum... 2006 seems to be so very far away from my today's point of view...

Lovely! I saw the gate you sent to me! Hooray! I love the hinged paper puppets and their sleepy eyes!

Jessica, I have been away from blogs for a while. Looks like a lot to check out here. Thats great!!
I love this short film you did. Visualization, puppets and sound takes me to dreamland.
I have a youtube account. But, I guess Vimeo is better and I might try going there too.

Yaz, welcome back! I missed you here!
Until I had joined Vimeo I didn't care so much about this web 2.0 thingys. But today I'm quite happy about any-/everybody meeting there with me... ;)
Justin, thank you!

Shelley,

this is like a dream coming true... ;)
Vimeo is the somehow more 'serious' site (as you already might know...) - I really like the interface and the possibilities with scaling on/off and all the embedding possibilities. Really greatly done site. And I'm looking forward to the weekend, until I finally can see 'another dream'. Happy happy little me... all the best !
