My choice of video hosting was initially going to be Vimeo, but after I signed up it became I discovered that you can only upload HD videos once a week. It is necessary for my videos to be HD quality so that they have a professional finish, but I simply don't have enough time in my time plan. After some background research I discovered that YouTube was one of the best video uploading sites in terms of maintaining the quality and colours of its videos so I'm going to keep it simple and upload the videos individually toYouTube so that each can be a separate easily accessible illustration to its own chapter.
Above is a screenshot of my channel. I have created a banner to introduce SKIN which keeps with the theme of the cover of the book, ensuring that there is a flow between both of my methods of portrayal, which is important in maintaining fluidity.
I am happy with my choice of video site. YouTube is a really popular and accessible platform, and is used by a huge range of individuals to access many different genres of video. Vimeo is lacking in this - not as many people are familiar with the site and although it is used by many creatives, its not particularly well known outside of this circle. This reinforces my confidence in my decision to use this as the primary viewing platform for my videos.
