Got an email from a guy in Germany earlier this week telling me that the videos I had posted on the Vendetta website no longer worked. A quick look at my records indicated I had originally put those videos up almost a decade ago. Wow. And those were the new versions — the original versions were posted in 1999 when online video was rare and anything you could find looked like it was filmed in a sandstorm.
Well the times they have a-changed, and I finally got around to cleaning up the Vendetta site to make use of 2005 era technology. Though I have had Vendetta on YouTube and Vimeo for a few years now, the website itself still featured the downloadable copies I had made back in the day.
Just think: when I put those up there was no YouTube. If you wanted to post a video online you had to host it yourself. And if it got too popular — which happened twice with Vendetta — your server would die.
I suppose cool little indie movies are pretty darn common these days, but I’m still proud of Vendetta 13 years later. What an awesome bunch of kids we were.
I was just thinking about Vendetta today. It was/is awesome.
Oops. That comment was from me.
Hey! Merry Christmas to you and the family! Will y’all be around the Bay Area around New Years?
We will… although without parents then so unfortunately we really can’t get away. You’re welcome to come by when the babies are awake or when the babies are asleep (that’s often when Lila and Brendan come over and we can really hang out).
It would be great to see you. Merry Christmas!
