"Video is an incredibly immersive medium.

Jakob Lodwick founded Vimeo as an extension of his life-long passion for creating video. "As an amateur filmmaker, I'm eager to present my work in the best possible environment. And that's true for anyone who picks up a camera. HD will inspire content creators to rise to the occasion, and to share video in the way it was meant to be seen," added Lodwick.
