This is a test of the video capabilities of Flickr. Google Video and YouTube were major disappointments in terms of quality. From what I've seen posted today, Flickr will blow them out of the water. Now to solve that nasty aspect ratio problem.
Music for this clip is by a friend of mine, Steve Wick. Check his stuff out at stevewickmusic.com

This is really great and very creative. I must admit I was against video to start with but now seeing the quality of Wildcardpoets and your videos I have changed my mind.

Did this video make Explore?
James Jordan (50 months ago | reply)
According to Flickr Scout, it was in Explore for a time. I suppose the irony is that the individual photos didn't make it to Explore, but the moving compilation did. Go figure.
Tom O'Neill (50 months ago | reply)
