If you have never had an interest in videography, maybe this post will change your mind. These are two examples of the INCREDIBLE talent displayed by Vimeo. Vimeo is very similar to Youtube, in the sense that you stream videos. However, the user base is very different. It caters to a smarter, artsier, more video-appreciating audience. It doesn’t have the obnoxious, retarded commenters that Youtube has. Anyway, here are the two videos:
It’s Your Ride
It’s Your Ride from Cinecycle on Vimeo.
Directed by Daniel Leeb of Cinecycle Productions.
This short film features Alfred Bobe Jr. and Fatimah Durkee. The film spins a visual ballad between the two cyclists experiencing the city in their own unique ways. Both cyclists are city dwellers who amidst the chaos of the concrete jungle have created a private and peaceful psychological space as they traverse the streets. They are both alone and yet they are both very much aware of each others presence. The film speaks to the harmony with one’s environment that can be found while riding a bicycle in a city and the synchronistic connection we can have with those we have not even met. The short was commissioned by Hutchinson tires.
