Vimeo just changed their settings, and removed the download original file option. On Dec 4th this was still working fine. Now it says:
This videos resolution is 1920x1080. By default, we automatically display HD footage in 720p for better playback. If youd prefer to display your work in 1080p, theres an option for that. Vimeo Plus and PRO members have the ability to view their videos in 1080p. By default, 1080p videos will play in 720p on Vimeo. To display footage in 1080p, youll need to upgrade your video under the Video File tab of your Video Settings page.
Meaning, as of this week you’ll need to pay for something that was free before.
We’ll figure something out but meanwhile just go ahead and use the 1280 HD size. You can upload your final at 720p if we can’t get this resolved quickly enough.
Sorry about that everybody.
Congrats on first place again! I believe yours is the most realistic and animated in comp, especially great for the winter season. The snow looks pretty good composited in, and the extra glazing of snow on the ground is great for the texture. Lovely atmospherics in this one, with the downplay of a lot of the brighter sunset type lighting in the original plate. You really turned it into a gloomy overcast day. Nice hiding of the brighter horizon sky in the video by stopping the garage halfway there, still works as the car will fit under there still. The sign rotating plays nicely. I’d have the pole’s lighting from the sign be more subdued such as it would in an overcast day rather than a stronger right side key light. Also the BG buildings are great in scale, but is going too blurry for this wide of a shot, with the focus point being pretty far away so I would expect it all to be in focus here. Great job overall!
