Using Vimeo for event streaming

Captain Video

I imagine such a dialogue actually existed sometimes:

” – We use Vimeo for our online event streaming.

– But it doesn’t work properly, it often breaks, it doesn’t remember video quality resolution, on various browsers, there are various bugs!

– It doesn’t matter, we paid for it! It must be a premium service since we paid a premium.

– But YouTube is better.

– It doesn’t matter, it’s free, we want to pay for such a service.

– Make a donation to YouTube, and use YouTube!”

YouTube is one option. There are others, like Zoom / Teams / Google Meet.

Insisting on Vimeo, when so often it fails do deliver is poor management.

But I already saw all the good movies!

On "Klaus" (2019)

I know a person who once told me – „But I already saw all the good movies! There’s nothing to do anymore.”

I didn’t have a good answer for that person at that time.

My answer, now, would be: „Do different things. Don’t just watch movies, get involved, take part in events, volunteer, travel, meet new people, start projects, work extra, read, compose songs, or do sport. By doing different things, you’ll see that watching movies will be a more enriching experience. You’ll learn to appreciate different kinds of movies, to understand better the movies you saw. And just by focusing on a few of the actions above, you’ll likely fill up your time.”

Get some action, and the action will bring results.

If you shift the perspective (going from watching movies to doing other activities), when you return (come back to watching movies), you’ll be a different person. The movies will be the same. You won’t.

Focusing on the little details

On "Soul" (2020)

I tend to focus on the small, tiny, little details. It’s hard for me to see the big picture, but easy to see the details. This is an example for this.

On the other hand, a lot of things in life, in general, are about the eagle’s eye view – the ability to see the stack, not the needle. The forest, not the trees.

To some degree, this is a specialization that is useful. Still, the ability to draw conclusions and focus on the big picture is also important.

Where does the ability to see the big picture come from? Partially, from experience in life.

Start with a BOOM!

Tom Magliery - Start

In a presentation („Prezentări de succes”) I attended via JA Romania, the presenter said something in the line of: „When you start some presentation, of any sort (video, audio, speech, story), don’t start with «He is X, X is doing so and so». Instead, start with the action. Don’t introduce the characters, starts where the action is”.

I liked the idea.
