"Video is an incredibly immersive medium. And so, people are very passionate about the quality of their video, and the viewing experience of those they have chosen to share their videos with," said Vimeo Founder Jakob Lodwick.

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.
