Movio - For Movies

Matt & Steve, our apprectices at Vimeo this summer, made a fucking hilarious mockumentary to kick off one of Vimeo’s weekend projects. Wonderfully shot and edited by Karen.

The third installment in my iphone series. See the others here and here if you so please. I suggest watching this with headphones on for maximum effect.

This one took me a while…

Jenny Lewis “See Fernando”  by Team G

“TEAM G is a “massively inclusive” film collective with folks in Los Angeles, New York and Kansas City. With a focus on friendship and collaboration, TEAM G makes feature films, short films, music videos and commercials that please everyone.

This video is a throw-back to so many awesome genres that initiated my love for film. Once again it comes down to simple but beautiful art direction and deliberate cinematography.

Thanks to Kate for sharing this gem with me.

Have you ever wanted to be in a Star Wars film? You and 472 other people have the chance to participate in an awesome video experiment.
I’ve had this idea brewing for a while and have finally executed it with seamless integration with Vimeo! Using Vimeo as leverage for video crowd-sourcing has made me very excited about the possibilites of this experiment. If all goes well, I’m sure there will be more iterations of this project in the future. Have fun!

THIS IS THE BEST AND MOST INSANELY AWESOME IDEA, EVER.  Get your favorite scenes now!

This music video was shot for Sour’s ‘Hibi no Neiro’ (Tone of everyday) from their first mini album ‘Water Flavor EP’. The cast were selected from the actual Sour fan base, from many countries around the world. Each person and scene was filmed purely via webcam.

Director: Masashi Kawamura + Hal Kirkland + Magico Nakamura + Masayoshi Nakamura

I love when I see an incredible video on YT and then see that the creator also uploaded it to Vimeo. Here is the Vimeo version.
