“I remember 15 years ago, watching this tiny little stamp sized video on my computer screen. It was jumpy and pixelated and took FOREVER to load. We were squinting so hard to even see the image and all I can remember thinking is:
This is SO incredible. This is the future. And that’s it, I was hooked.” – Lisa Gottfried, CEO, Video in a Minute
Video is nothing new, but what we do with video, that has changed entirely.
