This piece inspired the login illustration that vimeo commissioned from me for their redesign earlier this year; it is still in use throughout the site. The video is a condensed time lapse of screenshots over a several month period.

A screenshot was taken every 5 seconds, which actually results in a full 18 minute video. I’ll upload that for posterity later.
