Ah, the Met Ball. It’s like, um, various celebrities getting garlanded and vaguely commenting on whatever the Metropolitan Museum of Art happens to be high-profile-hyping at the time. This year they resurrected punk just so they could kill it again. Ok, I’m not really old enough to say that with any validity. I am, however, old enough to […]

Not even six-second clips are safe from Prince’s well–documented copyright fury, it seems, as the artist’s label has served Vine and its parent company, Twitter, with several Digital Millenium Copyright Act complaints over videos posted to the service. In all likelihood, this was the result of innocent people innocently Vining something that happened to involve […]

For yet another artistic example of why Vine is the most exciting social media platform going, take a look at the music video for Masters in France’s “Flexin,” which automatically populates itself with clips based tagged with words from the song’s lyrics. If a verse includes the word “high,” for example, and you once Vined […]

We’ve been having a lot of fun with the Vine, adapting the nifty 6-second video sharing social media app for various creative mischief — with it can do and with what it supposedly can’t. And no, we didn’t ask permission. We made a 20-second Vine! And you can too! Just watch our instructional video below… Vine can’t […]

Vine is a pretty amazing platform, but its youth still shows: though plenty of filmmakers, comedians, and various other content-creators are populating the social network with great six-second clips, its unrefined exploratory tools can make finding the good stuff difficult. That’s where ANIMAL comes in. We’ve spent a lot of time with Vine, and along […]
