Interview Project and SesameVault - very interesting

Mention David Lynch and anything but normal comes to mind. Yes, he is quite the individual. He recently lauched a new project simply called Interview Project which documents pieces of 121 people's lives across the country. The project recently got underway and there are some interesting interviews now up on the website. Some of the stories are heartbreaking and moving, but all capture a little of each person's humanity and background. Its worth watching a few and being inspired for your own storytelling efforts. The clips are short, about 5 mins each or so...

The technology powering the online video comes via SesameVault which is an online video hosting company offering a slew of features. These include the ability to automatically encode your video into 11 formats for viewing on multiple devices. Such technology is an example of the ability to author once and deliver everywhere. In addition, Sesame Vault has lots of metrics features, metadata, drag and drop web interfaces for uploading and APIs for integrating into other sites. The service is free for individuals who want to transfer no more than 2 GB per month and then the price goes to $50 and on up depending on which monthly model you choose. Take a look at SesameVault and even if you don't use it, its a nice example of where video in the cloud is heading.
