soooo. flickr has video eh.

there are so many people who are angry about it but eh. i'm half and half about it.

i do foresee alot of mums and dads posting 3 seconds of "billy on the swing set", 90 seconds of eiffel tower doing what it's always done. . . nothing. and
"did you take it?"
"yeah. oh no wait. it's in video mode. oh we'll put it on flickr anyway. quick wave at the camera honey!"

but what i am looking forward to is some super 8 stuff popping up in this pool *crosses fingers*

oh and i gotta give props to this guy. check out this.

this guy is great. it's still going on the concept of being a photograph but extends upon it just a little bit. it's not quite a film. it's not quite a still. but i know i like it.

makes me think of the pictures in harry potter.

wow, really nice...
lets hope there'll be more artistic approaches like that one to the video feature. Flickr Photography suffers enough under the mass upload of partypictures...

I have a lot of double 8 stuff, and I thought it was kind of cool that they're going to have videos now. Even though there's already youtube.... but you know.

Armando Alberto says:

At first I was kind of pissed about it. Then I realized I really don't care. Everyone's making a huge deal about it, but we'll soon be used to it. It won't affect me and my usage of flickr as far as looking at photos from groups I like and I really don't think it will affect much at all.

yeah, the time limit is key though.
hopefully people take advantage of this artistically. i dont think i mind the video feature, as long as the videos have some substance.
