Is it available anywhere? Article says was on Vimeo but that it was taken down.

I don’t see any info on their page either https://logisticsartproject.com/

I wonder how large (in file size) the final cut was and what codecs were used. Such slow moving footage probably compresses well, but at 857 hours of footage it’s probably still big.

We had the film on Vimeo for a year but had to take it down due to the cost of Vimeo hosting.

The original film is around 10TB of mpeg2 1080p 25mbit/sec 25 frames per second.

We later transcoded to h264, it now clocks in at about 2TB.

Out of curiosity, why aren’t you on other platforms? Is it mainly due to the size, maintaining rights, or a combination?

Size and rights are definitely an aspect, but so is context. If we were to upload this to YouTube for example we imagine that the film would be interrupted by commercial breaks every now and then. Plus there is the 12 hour length limit.

We did livestream it on Youtube back when you could opt out of commercials. And in a way a livestream is our preferred way of showing the work but doing so from home forces us to make sure the stream is running 24/7 for 37 days...

Yeah, you should definitely find a way to stream it from a third location. You have the same problem as the lofi girl stream: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jfKfPfyJRdk

Before their problem with content ID last month, their stream had been uninterrupted for two years.
